Explicit and Implicit CostsExplicit and Implicit Costs
Explicit Costs : The money payment that a firm makes to the outsiders who supply inputs.These are the “out of pocket ” costs.Eg. Salaries, price paid for raw material, components etc.
Explicit Costs : The money payment that a firm makes to the outsiders who supply inputs.These are the “out of pocket ” costs.Eg. Salaries, price paid for raw material, components etc.
Implicit Costs : The costs of the “self owned” resources which are employed by the firm and are non – expenditure costs.
Eg. Salary of the proprietor, interest on the entrepreneur’s own investment etc.
Economic Profit versus Accounting Profit
Economists measure a firm’s economic profit as total revenue minus all the opportunity costs
(explicit and implicit).
Accountants measure the accounting profit as the firm’s total
revenue minus only the firm’s explicit costs. In other words, they
ignore the implicit costs.
Economic Profit versus Accounting Profit
When total revenue exceeds both explicit and implicit costs, the
firm earns economic profit.
Economic profit is smaller than accounting profit.
