Minor nitpick: there won't be economic profit but there will be accounting profit.
- rhelz 3y agoCan you clarify? Seems like if a company is making accounting profit, that would ipso facto, in a free market, represent an opportunity for another company to come in, under bid them, and take some of that profit for themselves....and so on until there's none left to take.
- josephcsible 3y agoThere are implicit costs that aren't included when calculating accounting profit.
