The annual explicit costs for the firm is $310,000.

Explanation:

Explicit cost refers to the cost of the resources purchased by firm from outsiders.

Calculate the annual explicit cost -

Annual explicit cost = Wages and salaries + Materials + New equipment + rented property + interest cost on capital

Annual explicit cost = $150,000 + $75,000 + $30,000 + $20,000 + $35,000

Annual explicit cost = $310,000

Thus,

The annual explicit costs for the firm is $310,000.
