Sagot :

1. The cost that does not need a monetary payment is the implicit cost.

2. The cost of running the restaurant is $400,000.

1.

Implicit cost is normally:

  • The opportunity cost that occurred at the time when the company used the resources i.e. owned for the production without considering any payment regarding the resources.
  • Here monetary payment should not be involved.

Therefore rest of the given costs should involve monetary payments.

2. The cost of running the restaurant is as follows:

= Employee payment + ingredients cost + lawyer earnings

= $200,000 + $50,000 + $150,000

= $400,000

Therefore we can conclude that

1. The cost that does not need a monetary payment is the implicit cost.

2. The cost of running the restaurant is $400,000.
