Why we say that normal profit means zero economic profit ?? Please tell me

Dear student 

Economic profit refers to the difference of Total Revenue and Total Cost. Accordingly, zero economic profit refers to a situation where Total Revenue is just equal to Total Cost. it is determined at the point where the price is equal to the minimum of SAC. In this case, the firm is earning an amount over and above the minimum of SAVC but is just equal to the minimum of SAC. This situation is also known as normal profit. The firm is earning the profit in the sense that the total revenue earned is over and above the variable cost. It is called a normal profit in the sense that it is just equal to the total cost and nothing in excess of it.
