    d. profits were zero and its economic losses were $500,000.

    Explanation:

    Accounting profit = Revenue - explicit cost

    Revenue = price * quantity sold

    $50 * 100,000 = $5,000,000

    Accounting profit = $5,000,000 - $5,000,000 = $0

    Economic profit = Accounting profit - Explicit cost

    Explicit cost is the opportunity cost of this production activity.

    Economic profit = $0 - $500,000 = $-500,000

    This is a loss
