Frequently asked questions
What is accounting profit?
Accounting profit is total revenue minus explicit costs such as wages, rent, materials, and utilities, as recorded on the income statement.
What is the difference between accounting profit and economic profit?
Accounting profit subtracts only explicit, recorded costs, while economic profit also subtracts implicit costs like opportunity cost, so economic profit is usually lower.
How do you calculate accounting profit?
Subtract all explicit costs (wages, rent, materials, and other operating expenses) from total revenue to get accounting profit.
Can accounting profit be negative?
Yes. If explicit costs exceed total revenue, accounting profit is negative, meaning the business recorded a net loss for the period.
Is accounting profit the same as net income?
Yes, in practice accounting profit is the bottom-line figure on an income statement, equivalent to net income or net profit after explicit costs and taxes are deducted.
