So here we're told a whole lot about the firm, right? so we have revenue of 450 ,000.
00:07
We have costs is 100 ,000, right? and we have sort of capital of 750 ,000.
00:23
All right? so the first of all, the explicit opportunity cost of using market supplied resources, right? so here is the explicit cost of market resources.
00:38
It's just the $100 ,000.
00:39
Those are all things that you buy in a market.
00:43
But the capital here has an implicit cost.
00:46
It doesn't come out of your pocket.
00:49
It is only saying, look, it's not coming out of your pocket, but if you use this capital differently, you would be making more money.
00:55
So you should account for the cost, the interest, the earnings that you are foregone on your capital, by tying up your capital in this business.
01:04
So at 10%, there is an opportunity cost, and let's call that an implicit opportunity cost, of 75 ,000, right? because if you didn't have your capital tied up in the business, you would then be able to earn $75 ,000 somewhere else.
01:29
So the total economic cost is just the two of these.
01:34
Right it's the explicit costs plus the implicit which is equal to 175 ,000...
