Explanation:
Utility represents the satisfaction a person receives from the use of a good or service. In case there is a risk-neutral decision-maker, that individual is unlikely to vary the value he or she provides to the use of products to remain in a comfort zone. However, the utility could vary according to satisfaction the good or service provides in different situations.
Thus, if plotted in a graph, <em>the value representing the horizontal axis and the utility the vertical axis, there will be a straight line departing from the horizontal axis parallel to the vertical axis.</em>

Opportunity costs represent the benefits an individual, investor or business misses out on when choosing one alternative over another. While financial reports do not show opportunity cost, business owners can use it to make educated decisions when they have multiple options before them.
Because by definition they are unseen, opportunity costs can be easily overlooked if one is not careful. Understanding the potential missed opportunities foregone by choosing one investment over another allows for better decision-making.
Opportunity cost analysis also plays a crucial role in determining a business's capital structure. While both debt and equity require expense to compensate lenders and shareholders for the risk of investment, each also carries an opportunity cost. Funds used to make payments on loans, for example, are not being invested in stocks or bonds, which offer the potential for investment income. The company must decide if the expansion made by the leveraging power of debt will generate greater profits than it could make through investments.
