Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Julia's accounting profits are calculated by subtracting all of her expenses, including the opportunity cost of giving up her pet sitting job from her revenues. Accounting profits = Revenues - Expenses = $150,000 - ($15,000 + $10,000) = $125,000. Therefore, choice C is the correct answer.
