Top Successful enterpreneur

Henry ford,Andrew Carnegie,Orprah winfrey,Bill gates,larry page are the top successful entrepreneurs in the history of USA.

Yes,while starting a business people consider implicit as well as explicit cost because implicit cost is the opportunity cost that can be used to save money & explicit cost is the amount that is paid by the entrepreneur as wages,salaries etc.

No,I don't believe that produces has time to calculate AVC,AFC or ATC.

A perfect competition market refers to large number of buyer & sellers.Successful entrepreneurs do not look at a market that lean towards perfect competition because they are associated with taking high risks such as huge capital outlays and are involved in unique business activities to ensure survival in the market environment. Businesses with unique technologies and huge capital outlay do not need to look to enter in perfect competition.
