In his first year of business he has the following expenses: salary to himself, $40,000; rent, $0; other expenses, $25,000.

Find the accounting cost and economic cost associated with Joe's computer software business.

There are two types of costs

1. Economic cost or Implicit cost or opportunity cost : Implicit cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives. It is used in calculating economic profit

By starting his business, joe is forgoing his income and the rent he could have earned on his building

$50,000+ $24,000 = 74,000

2. Explicit cost : It includes the amount expended in running the business. It is used in calculating accounting profit

They include rent , salary and cost of raw materials

40,000+ 25,000 = 65,000
