Group of answer choices

Respuesta :

Answer:

(i) forgone investment opportunities

Explanation:

Implicit costs are the same as the opportunity costs of using a company's resources. There are the foregone benefits of not investing in project B but opting for project A.  Implicit costs are associated with the resources that a business already owns.

Implicit costs are used to calculate the economic value of a project.  They help managers assess how best to use the available resources. Wages of workers and raw materials costs represent explicit costs, which are direct materials of a project.
