Study Notes

Revenue

  • Milo sold 100 boxes of cookies at $10 per box
  • Total revenue: 100 x 10=10 = 10=1000

Explicit Costs

  • Explicit costs are the direct costs of production, such as ingredients, packaging and labels.
  • Explicit costs: $700

Implicit Costs

  • Implicit costs are opportunity costs. These are the costs of the resources the entrepreneur uses but doesn't pay for directly.
  • Milo's implicit cost includes lost wages while baking the cookies.
  • Implicit costs: 20 hours x 20perhour=20 per hour = 20perhour=400

Accounting Profit

  • Accounting profit is calculated as total revenue minus explicit costs.
  • Accounting profit: 1000−1000 - 1000−700 = $300

Economic Profit

  • Economic profit is calculated as total revenue minus both explicit and implicit costs.
  • Economic profit: 1000−1000 - 1000−700 - 400=−400 = -400=−100
