  • Total revenue of £180,000
  • Total explicit costs (rent, ingredients, employee wages, utilities) of £120,000
  • Personal savings of £20,000 used as start-up capital, which previously earned 5% interest per annum in a savings account

Calculate the entrepreneur's accounting profit and economic profit for her first year of trading.
