Also, during the first year, the cookie business incurred costs that required outlays of money amounting to $9,000.

Accounting profit = total revenue-explicit costs

                            = $15,000-$9,000 = $6,000

Economic profit = accounting profit-interest on capital invested

                          = $6000-$12000  = -$6000

Hence, his economic profit was -$6000
