Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

a) Jessica's opportunity costs are: the wages, 40,000; the amount she paid to other firms for material and supplies, 50,000; her forgone wages, 80,000; the forgone rent on her building, 40,000; and, the normal profit, 20,000. The opportunity cost equals the sum of all these costs and so is 230,000.
b) Economic profit equals total revenue minus total opportunity cost, or 250,000 - 230,000 = 20,000.
