to find out

earning economic profit

solution

first we get here Total revenues that is express as

Total revenues = currently maximizes profit  × marginal cost

Total revenues =  400 ×  $25

Total revenues = $10000

and Total cost will be

Total cost = currently maximizes profit  × average cost

Total cost = 400  ×  $20

Total cost = $8000

so economic profit will be

economic profit = Total revenues - Total cost

economic profit = $10,000 - $8,000

economic profit = $2000
