<br />Why opportunity cost is not recognized while calculating the accounting profit? I need some logical reasons ( In the light of accounting standards or applications) . I also know that it is the implicit cost
<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">

Financial statements are prepared on accrual basis. Opportunity cost is not the cost that is actually incured and/or does not relates to the period for which financial statements are prepared. So opportunity costs are not recognized while calculating the accounitng profits.

I hope my reply will help you.

Comments are appreciated.
