Based on the conditions Kieran's economic profit is :

$4000 .

What is economic profit?

  • Profit, in business terms, the excess of total revenue over total cost over a specific time period. Profit in economics is defined as the excess of capital, land, and labor returns (interest, rent, and wages).
  • Economic profit is important because it aids in determining a company's profitability and financial performance.

Given this,

Total opportunity cost equals salary plus interest foregone, or $50,000 plus 6% of $100,000.

= 50,000 + 6000 = 56,000.

60,000 in total revenue received

Remember that

Revenue - (implicit + explicit cost) = economic profits

In addition to that

56,000 is the implicit cost multiplied by the opportunity cost.

Explicit price = 0

Thus

60000 - 56000 = Economic profit

= $4000.

Economic profit of Kieran is $4000.
