Including implicit costs to your profit calculation gives \u00a0another way to compare financial alternatives known as <strong>economic profit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>There is a possibility that a business has a positive accounting profit and a negative <strong>economic profit<\/strong> for a business.\u00a0A negative <strong>economic profit<\/strong> implies that you could be financially better off by engaging in a different opportunity that in fact you chose not to do.
