Analyzing Economic Rent Calculation

A consultant works 40 hours to produce a market analysis report for a client firm. The total value generated by the report for the firm is estimated at $3,300. According to their contract, the consultant is paid a flat fee of $700. The firm's manager argues that the economic rent captured by the firm from this exchange is the full $3,300, as this is the total value created. Is the manager's calculation of the firm's economic rent correct? Briefly explain your reasoning.
