Accounting Profit

What Does Accounting Profit Mean?
A company's total earnings, calculated according to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and includes the explicit costs of doing business, such as depreciation, interest and taxes.

Investopedia explains Accounting Profit
Accounting profits tend to be higher than economic profits as they omit certain implicit costs, such as opportunity costs.

For example, if you invest $100,000 to start a business and earned $120,000 in profit, your accounting profit would be $20,000. Economic profit would add implicit costs, such as the opportunity cost of $50,000 should you have been employed instead during that period. As such, you would have an economic loss of $30,000 ($120,000 - $100,000 - $50,000).
