Answer:

Missing out on the benefits I get from working out using exercise equipment in my garage.

Explanation:

When an option is chosen from alternatives, the opportunity cost is the "cost" incurred by not enjoying the benefit associated with the best alternative choice. The New Oxford American Dictionary defines it as "the loss of potential gain from other alternatives when one alternative is chosen." Since Choice B is the next best choice to hiking, missing out on the benefits of working out will be my opportunity cost.

True or false?John says to his friend, "This concert is going to cost me $20 when I buy the ticket." His friend corrects him and
Illusion [34]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Opportunity cost refers to the value of a missed chance as a result of deciding a certain way. It is the forfeited benefit of choosing one option over another. Economists determine the opportunity cost by calculating the value of the next best alternative.

If John buys the ticket, it will cost $20.  Attending the concert will cause him not to do his homework, as he cannot be in two places at the same time. The consequence of him not doing his homework is the opportunity cost. Attending the concert will, therefore, cost him the $20 and the opportunity cost.
