Explanation:
The opportunity cost of any economic decision is the cost of giving up its alternative. We are aware that we have limited resources with alternative uses and we have to use these resources to satisfy alternative needs and wants. In order to increase spending resources on one thing, we need to decrease spending on its alternative.
