Question

what is opportunity cost ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

When economists refer to the “opportunity cost” of a resource, they mean the value of the next-highest-valued alternative use of that resource. If, for example, you spend time and money going to a movie, you cannot spend that time at home reading a book, and you can't spend the money on something else.

In microeconomic theory, opportunity cost is the loss or the benefit that could have been enjoyed if the best alternative choice was chosen. As a representation of the relationship between scarcity and choice, the objective of opportunity cost is to ensure efficient use of scarce resources.
