In zero accounting profit takes opportunity costs into account, whereas zero economic profit does not. If a firm has zero economic profits, they are able to have positive accounting profits. A zero accounting profit means that the revenue that is made is only covering explicit costs. A zero economic profit is normal when the total revenue and expenses equal zero.
