Definition: economic profit = total revenue (variable costs + fixed costs) Definition: normal profit = opportunity cost of capital. 0 economic profit = normal profit since it includes the opportunity cost of capital. Economic loss => economic profit < 0 (less than the opportunity cost of capital) Economic profit => economic profit > 0 (greater than the opportunity cost of capital) => find the output that maximizes profit (tr tc) => d (tr tc)/d q = 0. => d tr/d q d tc/d q = 0.
