    The correct answer is option b.

    Explanation:

    Samantha was earning a salary of $80,000 while working for a law firm.

    She decides to open her own practice.

    Her annual expenses will include $15,000 for office rent, $3,000 for equipment rental, $1,000 for supplies, $1,200 for utilities, and a $35,000 salary for a secretary/bookkeeper.

    The total accounting or explicit costs

    = $15,000 + $3,000 + $1,000 + $1,200 + $35,000

    = $55,200

    Accounting profit = Total revenue - Accounting costs

    $50,000 = Total revenue - $55,200

    Total revenue = $50,000 + $55,200

    Total revenue = $105,200
