3. Economic Costs

•The payment that must be made to obtain
and retain the services of a resource
•Explicit Costs
• Monetary payments
•Implicit Costs
• Value of next best use
• Self-owned resources
• Includes normal profit

4. Accounting Profit and Normal Profit

•Accounting profit
= Revenue – Explicit Costs
•Economic profit
= Accounting Profit – Implicit Costs
•Economic profit (to summarize)
=Total Revenue – Economic Costs
=Total Revenue – Explicit Costs – Implicit

•Short Run
• Some variable inputs
• Fixed plant

• All inputs are variable
• Variable plant
• Firms enter and exit

9. Short-Run Production Costs

•Fixed Costs (TFC)
• Costs do not vary with output
•Variable Costs (TVC)
• Costs vary with output
•Total Costs (TC)
• Sum of TFC and TVC
• TC = TFC + TVC

17. Conclusion

The costs related to making or acquiring
goods and services that directly generates
revenue for a firm. It comprises of direct
costs and indirect costs. Direct costs are
those that are traceable to the creation of a

labor whereas indirect costs refer to those
costs that cannot be traced to the product
such as overhead.
