Q7. Economan has been infected by the free enterprise bug. He invests in some equipment to do research and publish results. He sets up and runs a firm that studies extraterrestrial genetic studies. For a one-year period the rent of the building is $20,000, the cost of two secretaries is $120,000 total, and the cost of utilities comes to $40,000. There is demand for the services and the revenues total $250,000 for the year.

In order to run the business Economan gave up a chance to earn $110,000 in a job at the local Space Agency. In addition, he estimates that instead of investing in his business he could have putmoney in the bank and earned $5,000 interest.
