The answer is the last one (D): \$134,000.

To determine Creamy Crisp's accounting profit, we need to calculate the total revenue and subtract the explicit costs. Accounting profit does not consider opportunity costs, only explicit costs.

  1. Total Revenue: \$280,000

  2. Explicit Costs:

    • Payments to workers: \$118,000
    • Annual lease on building: \$20,000
    • Utilities: \$8,000

    Total explicit costs = \$118,000 + \$20,000 + \$8,000 = \$146,000

  3. Accounting Profit:

    • Accounting Profit = Total Revenue - Total Explicit Costs
    • Accounting Profit = \$280,000 - \$146,000 = \$134,000

Now, let's evaluate each option:

  • \$146,000: This is the total explicit costs, not the accounting profit.
  • \$0: This would imply no profit, which is incorrect based on the given data.
  • \$280,000: This is the total revenue, not the profit.
  • \$134,000: This is the correct accounting profit after subtracting explicit costs from total revenue.

Therefore, the correct answer is \$134,000.
