Answer to Question 1

Your explicit costs include tuition and textbooks, which total 27,000. Your implicit costs involve the salary you give up to go back to school, or 40,000. Since you would be paying rent and buying food whether you continued working or went back to school, these costs are not included in the explicit costs of going back to school.

Answer to Question 2

A
