Question
Economic profit or normal profit is the same as :
Options:
A .  maximum profit
B .  net profit
C .  accounting profile
D .  optimum profit
Answer: Option B
Answer: (b)
Normal profit or economic profit is an economic condition occurring when the difference between a firm’s total revenue and the total cost is equal to zero. Simply put, normal profit is the minimum level of profit needed for a company to remain competitive in the market.
In a sense, normal profit is the same as net profit which is calculated by subtracting a company’s total expenses from total revenue, thus showing what the company has earned (or lost) in a given period of time.
Accounting profit occurs when revenues are greater than costs, and not equal, as in the case of normal profit.
