PLES HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM
Q1. Khadija operates a business that prints designs on T-shirts. Khadija's total revenue per year equals
$500,000. The cost of labor per year is $125,000, the cost of raw materials and supplies is $200,000 per
year, while the value of capital for the business is $200,000. Khadija knows she could earn $50,000 per
year working as a printer at a competitor's business. She also knows she could sell her business and the
land it sits on for $600,000 and earn 10% a year on these funds.
a. What are Khadija's explicit costs? Calculate a value for these explicit costs.
b. What are Khadija's implicit costs? Calculate a value for these implicit costs.
c. What are Khadija’s accounting profits?
d. What are Khadija’s economic profits?
Explanation / Answer
Explicit costs are the tangible costs that are incurred. 125000, 200000, 200000 = 555k are the explicit costs.
Implicit costs are the opportunity costs, 50000+60000=110000.
Accounting profits dont consider opportunity costs, P=500k-550k = -50k
Economic profits consider opportunity costs, P = -50K - 110k = -160K.
