Answer:

The firm earns revenues of $360,000 per year. To receive a normal profit, the firm described above would have to earn additional revenue of $90,000

Explanation:

As per the information provided in the question, the current profit/loss after deducting all expenditure from income is as follows:

Particular                                     Amount ($)

Revenue                                      360,000

Less: Wages and Salaries          (200,000)

Less: Materials                             (75,000)

Less: New Equipment                  (30,000)

Less: Rented Property                 (20,000)

Less: Interest Costs                      (35,000)

Profit/Loss                                           0

As confirmed from the calculation above currently no profit is being earned even after the owner/manager not receiving income from the firm. Therefore, the firm should generate additional revenue of $90,000 in order to earn normal profit.
