Growing Flowers For Market



growing flowers for market
Microeconomics help!!?

Peter gives guitar lessons for $20 per hour. He also grows flowers, which he arranges and sells at the Boulder farmer’s market. One day he spends 5 hours planting $50 worth of Seeds in his garden. Once the seeds have grown into flowers, he can sell them for $150 at the farmer’s market.

1) What are Peter’s accounting profits?
2) What are Peter’s economic profits?

You don’t state any where that Peter has to trade guitar lesson with his flower work. But I guess he has to, so the answer is
1) his account profit 150-50=$100.
2) his implicit costs=20 x 5=$100
His total cost will be 100+50=$150
his economic profit=normal profit =150-150=0
