Suppose you are planning to open a lemonade stand. List separately all the explicit and implicit costs that might be involved


The obvious explicit costs would include the price of the stand, the lemons, sugar, water, sign, etc. It may also require the purchase of a license and the paying of taxes, depending on the government regulations of the particular locale. Implicit costs would be the opportunity cost of the funds used to pay the explicit costs plus the opportunity costs of your time to operate the lemonade stand.
