Find out (a) explicit cost, and (b) implicit cost from the following:
                                                                                                                              In Lakhs
(i) Investment in fixed assets                                                                                 40
(ii) Borrowings at 12% interest per annum                                                           30
(iii) Wages paid during the year                                                                             12
(iv) Annual rental value of the owner’s factory building                                     18
(v) Annual depreciation                                                                                           10
(vi) Estimated annual value of the management services of the owner         24

Dear Student,
(a) Explicit cost = Interest on borrowings+ Wages paid+ Depreciation
= (30*12%)+ 12+10
= 25.6 lakhs

(b) Implicit cost = Imputed interest on Own investment of 10 lakh (40-30) @ 12%​+ Rental value of the owner's factory building+ Imputed of the management services of the owner
=1.2 +18+24
=43.2 lakhs
