Total revenue minus total cost<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Economic profit is the difference between total revenue and total cost, including both explicit and implicit costs. Explicit costs are the costs that a firm incurs in order to produce its goods or services, such as the cost of labor, materials, and equipment. Implicit costs are the costs that a firm incurs in order to use its resources, such as the opportunity cost of capital.<\/p>\n<p>Total revenue is the total amount of money that a firm receives from selling its goods or services. Total cost is the total amount of money that a firm spends in order to produce its goods or services.<\/p>\n<p>Economic profit is important because it measures the profitability of a firm. A firm is said to be profitable if its economic profit is positive. A firm is said to be unprofitable if its economic profit is negative.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a brief explanation of each option:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Option A: Part of total cost. This is incorrect because economic profit is not part of total cost. Economic profit is the difference between total revenue and total cost.<\/li>\n<li>Option B: Total revenue minus total cost. This is the correct answer. Economic profit is the difference between total revenue and total cost.<\/li>\n<li>Option C: Total revenue minus explicit cost. This is incorrect because economic profit includes both explicit and implicit costs.<\/li>\n<li>Option D: Total variable cost minus total fixed cost. This is incorrect because economic profit includes both variable and fixed costs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;Part of total cost&#8221; option2=&#8221;Total revenue minus total cost&#8221;
