Economic Income vs Accounting

Economic income doesn’t get affected by noncash charge. Any other differences you guys know?

Economic income includes economic depreciation rather than accounting depreciation. Economic income includes all opportunity costs including normal profit. Not sure, but would people factor in externalities in a calculation of economic income?

i believe accounting income does not include normal profit??? but economic does…

economic profit includes foregone interest, dpereciation and normal profit

economic income does nto subtract cost of debt financiing and is it based on changes in market value of the company not changes in its book value.

my bad, thinking of economic profit (in econ) too mch crap!
