14. What is the difference between explicit and implicit costs in microeconomics?
Explicit costs are incurred directly, while implicit costs are opportunity costs
Implicit costs are incurred directly, while explicit costs are opportunity costs
Both refer to the same concept
Explicit costs include fixed costs, while implicit costs include variable costs
