Answer 1

Answer:

Accounting costs $145,000

Implicit costs $75,000

Opportunity costs $220,000

Explanation:

What her accounting cost will be during the first year of operation.

Based on the information given we were told that the annual overhead costs and operating expenses amounted to the amount of $145,000 which means that the amount of $145,000 will be the ACCOUNTING COSTS

Her IMPLICIT COSTS will be the amount of $75,000 which is the amount she earn in her current job per year.

Her OPPORTUNITY COSTS be the addition of both her Her accounting cost and implicit costs

Hence,

Opportunity cost=$145,000+$75,000

Opportunity cost=$220,000
