I'm trying to figure out how to calculate economic profit. I understand it's different from accounting profit, but I'm not sure exactly how to determine it. Can someone explain the process or formula to find economic profit?

The second part is total explicit costs, which are the direct costs associated with production, such as wages, rent, and materials.

The third part is total implicit costs, which are the indirect costs that are not easily quantifiable, such as the opportunity cost of using resources for a particular purpose.

When these three components are combined, the formula for economic profit is derived: Economic Profit = Total Revenue - Total Explicit Costs - Total Implicit Costs.
