With new income around the company becomes profitable (8)
I believe the answer is:
economic
'profitable' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'with new income around' is the wordplay.
'with new' becomes 'econ' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'income' becomes 'economic rent' (economic rent is a kind of income).
'around' says to take the centre.
The middle of 'economicrent' is 'omic'.
'econ'+'omic'='ECONOMIC'
'the company becomes' is the link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for economic that I've seen before include "Productive: financially sound" , "One comic (anag)" , "Monetary; cost-effective" , "Capable of operating at a profit" , "(Likely to be) profitable" .)
