Assume that you have taken 12 months' leave without pay from your full-time job as a dressmaker and set up a business ironing and repairing clothes. You have taken out a 12-month lease on a small shopfront in a suburban shopping centre.

You have paid for these set-up costs out of your previous savings. You will not be able to buy any more equipment during the next 12 months. For the year, your total explicit costs are $25 500, and your implicit costs are $45 000.
Question a). Give some examples of your explicit and implicit costs. [2 Marks]
