Answer:

D) tyler says his profit is $34,100, and greg says he lost $6,500.

Explanation:

Walter's accounting profit = total revenues - total accounting costs = $60,000 - $25,000 - ($30,000 x 3%) = $60,000 - $25,000 - $900 = $34,100

Walter's economic profit = accounting profit - opportunity costs

opportunity costs are the money lost for choosing one investment over another

Walter's opportunity costs = ($20,000 x 3%) + $40,000 = $600 + $40,000 = $40,600

Walter's economic profit = $34,100 - $40,600 = -$6,500

The correct option is D.

D) tyler says his profit is $34,100, and greg says he lost $6,500.

Walter's accounting profit

= total revenues - total accounting costs

= $60,000 - $25,000 - ($30,000 × 3%)

= $60,000 - $25,000 - $900

= $34,100

Walter's economic profit = accounting profit - opportunity costs

Here

Walter's opportunity costs = ($20,000 × 3%) + $40,000

= $600 + $40,000

= $40,600

So,

Walter's economic profit

= $34,100 - $40,600

= -$6,500
