Answer to Question 1

Accounting profit is determined by taking total revenue and subtracting explicit costs only. Economic profit is determined by taking total revenue and subtracting all economic costs which include explicit and implicit costs. Therefore, this statement is not a contradiction.

Answer to Question 2

Maxine's Cookie Shop is earning profits of 50 per day. This can be calculated by taking total revenue (2 x 200 = 400) and subtracting total cost (1.75 x 200 = 350).

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
