Will economic profit exceed accounting profit?
Economic profit will never exceed accounting profit. The accountant will calculate total cost using only explicit costs (basically a transfer of money) that the firm makes. On the other hand, economists will factor in opportunity cost as well. For example, if a person takes their life's savings and invests it in a new company, the interest that the money could be making will be an opportunity cost for the firm, as well as the salary they could be earning at a different firm. This all means that economists will calculate higher costs, which means that economic profit is lower than accounting profit.
