Answer to Question 1

a

Answer to Question 2

An economic profit includes implicit costs and accounting profit does not. A distinction between them is important because an accounting profit is a relative amount of money. Some amount of accounting profit may or may not be a sufficient amount of profit to keep an entrepreneur in his/her present line of business. Whereas an economic profit, if it is earned, is always good news because it is an amount of profit above the entrepreneur's opportunity cost.
