Explicit costs are opportunity cost involves the payments and expense of the firms for a
certain production. This includes labour force, resources, transportation and so on. The cost of

An example of this are
Fixed costs are costs that independent of output which remain constant throughout the
relevant range. Variable cost is costs that vary with output. Generally variable costs increase at a
constant rate relative to labour and capital. Short run cost is the conceptual time period in which at
least factor is fixed in amount and others in variable in amount
