If Amit's Curry House took in $35 000 in revenue last week and had out-of-pocket expenses of $31 500, which of the following best describes Amit's profits last week? Amit really did NOT make any profit since he needs to put the difference between revenue and out-of-pocket expenses back into the firm. Amit made an economic profit of $3500. It is NOT clear whether Amit earned any profit last week because it depends on the magnitude of the implicit costs. Amit did NOT earn an economic profit.

This would reduce the pollution in the lake to levels safe for recreation, and the water park would no longer be affected. If the fish processor uses the recycling method, then the fish processor's economic profit is $1,000 per week, and the water park's economic profit is $2,600 per week. If the fish processor does not use the recycling method, then the fish processor's economic profit is $1,700 per week, and the water park's economic profit is $1,500 per week. These figures are summarized in the following table. Complete the following table by computing the total profit (the fish processor's economic profit and the water park's economic profit combined) with and without recycling. Action Profit Fish Processor Water Park Total (Dollars) (Dollars) (Dollars) No Recycling 1,700 1,500 Recycling 1,000 2,600 Total economic profit is…
