c.Bev’s total implicit costs are $300.
d.Bev’s economic profit is $4,700.

Answer:

Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Here, the implicit cost is as follows:

Interest income she would have earned = $300

She would have a salary = $25,000

Total revenue from the business = $30,000

The total opportunity cost is as follows:

= Interest income + salary amount

= $300 + $25,000

= $25,300

Therefore,

Economic profits:

= Total revenue - Total Cost

= $30,000 - $25,300

= $4,700

Therefore, the Bev’s economic profit is $4,700.
