Answer:

Implicit costs are opportunity costs. They are the cost of the next best alternative that one could have taken from the one they took.

Explicit costs are normal accounting costs which represent the expenses involved in running a business.

a. The wages and utility bills that Charles pays. EXPLICIT COSTS.

These are normal accounting expenses so they are explicit costs.

b. The wholesale cost for the guitars that Charles pays the manufacturer. EXPLICIT COSTS.

Another cost of doing business so this is explicit as well.

c. The rental income Charles could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom. IMPLICIT COST.

By not renting out his showroom and using it instead, he is losing the rental income he could be making so this is an implicit cost.

d. The salary Charles could earn if he worked as a financial advisor. IMPLICIT COST.

Another income he could be making if he wasn't selling guitars. This make it an implicit cost.

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

1.Operating Income (loss) (2122)

2. Break even point in units = 28126

3. Required Sales in Units=30899

Explanation:

Khaling Company

Income Statement

Sales  (26,850units* $ 15.84)                       $ 425304

Less

Variable Costs ( $11.70* 26580 units)          $ 31,0986

Contribution Margin                                    114,318

Less Fixed Costs                                         $116,440

Operating Income (loss)                               (2122)

2. Break even point in units = Fixed Costs/ Contribution Margin Per unit

                    = $116,440/$ 15.84-$11.70

                        =$116,440/ 4.14

                        = 28,125.6= 28126 units

<em>We find the Contribution Margin Per unit by subtracting variable cost per unit from sales price per unit.</em>

3. Required Sales in Units = Fixed Costs + Targeted Income/ Contribution Margin Per unit

                 =$116,440 +$11,480  /$ 15.84-$11.70

                  = 127920/4.14= 30898.5= 30899 units
