Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the formula for economic profit: Economic Profit = Total Revenue - Economic Cost.
Identify the given values: Total Revenue (TR) = 120,000 and Economic Cost (EC) = 96,000.
Substitute the given values into the formula: Economic Profit = 120,000 - 96,000.
Perform the subtraction to find the economic profit (do not calculate the final number here, just set up the expression).
Interpret the result: a positive economic profit means the firm is earning more than its total economic costs.
