    Accounting Profits = $130,000

    Economic profit = $5,000

    Explanation:

    Data provided in the question:

    Previous wage = $75,000

    Expenses for wages and salaries = $100,000

    Wage for the owner = $75,000

    Utilities = $5000

    Equipment charges = $50,000

    Materials = $40,000

    Revenues = $200,000

    Now,

    Since he is himself the owner his salary will not be included in the wages expense

    Thus,

    Net expense for salary = $100,000 - $75,000

    = $25,000

    Accounting Profits = Revenues - Net expense for salary - Utilities - Materials

    = $200,000 - $25,000 - $5,000 - $40,000

    = $130,000

    Economic profit = Accounting Profits - Equipment charges - Previous wage

    = $130,000 - $50,000 - $75,000

    = $5,000
