Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Explicit costs are the direct, out-of-pocket payments for inputs to production. In this case, they include the costs of water, sugar, lemons, and cups, which total $0.08 per glass ($0.01 + $0.02 + $0.03 + $0.02). The opportunity cost of labor is not an explicit cost.
