Why most people consider accounting profit and not economic profit. And from our childhood itself we learn about accounting profit only. Why so?

Accounting profit is straightforward and precise: revenue minus explicit costs. It measures actual money inflows versus money outflows and is part of the required financial reporting and transparency of a company.
Economic profit is the financial amount that remains after subtracting both explicit costs and opportunity costs from revenue. Opportunity costs are the profits that a business misses out on when choosing to pursue one business venture over another.
Economic profit is used for internal analysis and is not required for transparent disclosure.
While theoretical, economic profit computations can help a company size up and choose between potential business ventures.

Economic Profit involves subtracting both Implicit costs and Explicit costs from the Total Revenue. Implicit costs are the opportunity costs that are not measurable and not seen in the books of accounts.

Accounting profit is practical from financial perspective, it reflects profitability of the firm while economic profit may not give precise picture as certain aspects are estimated, but it highlights efficiency of the firm in resource allocations.
