hello everyone hi welcome to the channel of WallStreetmojo watch the video
[15]
till the end also if you are new to this channel then you can subscribe us by
[18]
clicking the bell icon friend today we have a topic which is
[22]
explicit cost no there's a dialogue box over here I want you to understand what
[26]
exactly is it explicit cost of the cost that a company spends to pay for the
[29]
wages raw materials utilities advertisements mortgages hindrance and
[34]
so on and so forth so we record this all this kind of cost in the financial
[39]
statement the only condition is that we know it should be a cash outflow right
[44]
it should be a cash outflow well in this scenario the emphasize is mostly on cash
[50]
and that's why if an accountant includes depreciation or let's say amortization
[56]
under the explicit cost it wouldn't be correct now here's how we will calculate
[60]
the explicit cost explicit
[65]
set cost is equal to your cash
[71]
outflows
[74]
recorded
[78]
in the company's financial statements let's understand the explanation part of
[85]
explicit cost see as you can understand no there isn't a set of formula that can
[91]
that can express such cost however you know there are few conditions that the
[95]
item should be there to be considered as explicit cost first you know what the
[99]
item should be what we call as expended the item must be expended in cash and
[104]
for example if you're buying at advertisement in newspaper you
[108]
need to pay cash to the newspaper company so advertisement expenses
[112]
would would be does you know considered as the express explicit expenses however
[116]
you know depreciation expense they don't do mean an outlay you can say that
[121]
outlay off basically cash that means that in depreciation expenses it
[124]
won't be considered as an explicit cost
[133]
now second the expenses should be what we call as tangible in nature and not an
[140]
intangible one third the expenses should be recorded in the financial statements
[145]
of the companies so to understand this we should also be and we should also
[150]
understand implicit cost see implicit cost are the constant actually are not
[154]
spent but they are implied so interest on
[159]
owners equity
[163]
right interest on what we call as owners capital or owners capital rent of owners
[169]
building our implicit cost on the other hand the explicit cost
[175]
or explicit expenses are just the opposite
[181]
of the implicit costs and they can actually are
[186]
called they are called as out-of-pocket expenses or out-of-pocket costs now what
[191]
exactly is the use of this explicit cost
[197]
first we need to talk about the implicit cost see there are two kind of profit
[202]
every company ascertains one is called the accounting profit and
[206]
another one is called your economic profits counting profit on one hand
[213]
takes implicit cost into Account Per share that's that's
[218]
absolutely a done thing along with the explicit cost however if you see for the
[224]
economic profit you know it it does not
[230]
it does not take implicit cost into account so if we deduct the implicit
[234]
cost from the actual profit we get economic profit now by using the
[237]
explicit expenses the company can understand you know what their actual
[241]
cost are so what I'll implied cost exactly like for example let's say if
[245]
the top management you know decides to reduce the cost of the company so if
[249]
they usually look for the explicit expenses and not the implicit expenses
[253]
because explicit expenses the are the real costs that are recorded in the
[257]
financial state and in the example we will see you know how explicit cost I
[262]
use in our company now the example goes something like this
[265]
let's take a practical example so that we can understand you know how explicit
[269]
cost work let's say there is a company called Kings man
[277]
it's Kings man Kingsman tailors they asked the accountant to find out
[281]
what is the total explicit costs for the last 5 years from 2013 to 2019
[289]
there was a snapshot showing the details whereas something like this the raw
[292]
material consumption for every year was closely to $1,00,000 second the
[298]
advertisement expenditure
[303]
expense increases every year by 10,000 and in 2013
[312]
the advertisement expense was 14,000 the rent for the factory has
[318]
increased 2000 every year and in 2013
[329]
it reduced to 25,000 every year
[334]
the equipment expense reduced drastically over the
[340]
years and it was $1,50,000 back in 2013 and it reduced
[346]
25,000 each year so over here what you need to do is you
[353]
need to find out the total explicit costs for the year 2013 to 2017 so the
[363]
calculation will go something like this the explicit cost
[370]
for 2013
[373]
2014 ,2015, 2016 and 2017 first was raw material there's not going
[382]
to be no change in this so 1,00,000 is going to be the same for
[385]
all the years then there is advertisement expenditure advertisement
[389]
was 14,000 right and there was an increase every year right by
[397]
10,000
[400]
so just keep increasing 34 to 54 that rent was 10,000 and there was increase
[407]
every year by 2000
[413]
control R then the next that we have was equipment
[421]
and well that was 1,50,000 and there was a straight increase of 25,000
[428]
every year control R so that's where we get our total
[438]
as this is negative which it was 2,74,000 to
[443]
4,22,000 right but over here there is there is increase so this
[448]
example shows us how exactly explicit cost works we have understood every
[454]
single detail regarding this particular topic I hope you have got a real idea
[458]
regarding how the whole concept has been worked out here so that's it for this
[464]
particular topic if you have learned and enjoyed watching this video please like
