Suppose the total cost of producing commodity X is Rs.125000. Out of this cost, implicit cost is Rs.35000 and normal profit is Rs.25000. What will be the explicit cost of commodity X?
A. Rs.90000
B. Rs.65000
C. Rs.60000
D. Rs.100000
Answer: Option B
Solution(By Examveda Team)
125000-25000-35000 = 65000 = explicit cost.Total cost = implicit cost + explicit cost.

It should be 90000
Explicit cost = Total Cost - Implicit cost
Explicit cost = 125000 - 35000 = 90000, I think this is the right answer
It should be 90000 as normal profit is not included in cost of production. So, explicit cost=125000-35000=90000
Then it should be 90000. As we are given the total cost not the total revenue thus didn't understand the ductuction of profits
