(a) What are her accounting profits for the year?

Accounting profits =79000

(b) What are her economic profits for the year?

Economic profits=16300

Accounting profits =200000-121000

Accounting profits =79000

Economic profits =total revenues-total opportunity cost of all inputs used - (explicit + implicit costs).

$200000-(121000+60000+(45000*6%)=

Economic profits=16300
