    The correct answer is $0.

    Explanation:

    According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:

    Accounting Profit = $120,000

    Current earning = $100,000

    retirement fund = $200,000

    Interest from retirement fund = 10% * $200,000 = $20,000

    So, we can calculate the economic profit by using following formula:

    Economic profit = Accounting profit - Current earning - Interest from retirement fund

    By putting the value, we get

    = $120,000 - $100,000 - $20,000

    = $20,000 - $20,000

    = $0
