An implicit cost can be defined as the opportunity cost equal to what a firm give up for using the factor of production which it already owns and thus does not pay rent for it. Hence income tax payment is not a return on the investment.
An explicit cost is defined as the direct payment made to others for using the resources and running a business. For instance, wage, rent and materials. Hence income tax payment is not a return on the investment.
Accounting profit=TR- explicit cost
Economic profit=TR-(implicit cost + explicit cost)
When accounting profit is positive, then economic profit may be zero, positive and negative, it depends on the value of implicit cost.
Hence option fourth is the correct answer.
