Paolo's Implicit and Explicit Costs:
Implicit Costs:
a. The salary Paolo could earn if he worked as a financial advisor = $20,000
d. The rental income Paolo could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom = $2,000
Total implicit costs = $22,000
Explicit Costs:
b. The wages and utility bills that Paolo pays = $267,000
c. The wholesale cost for the guitars that Paolo pays the manufacturer = $423,000
Total explicit costs = $690,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Analysis:
Sales revenue from selling guitars per year = $723,000
Cost of goods sold = $423,000
Wages and Utility expenses = $267,000
Accounting profit = $33,000 ($723,000 - ($423,000 + $267,000))
Opportunity costs:
Annual rent to be received from showroom if rented out = $2,000
Salary as a financial advisor = $20,000
Economic profit = $11,000 ($33,000 - $22,000)
