Lisa is choosing between three alternatives: a) working at her job that pays 60 dollars; b) writing a term paper which she value
s at 40 dollars; or c) going out with a friend, which she values at 80 dollars. The opportunity cost of writing the term paper is:a. 140 dollars. b. 0 dollars.
c. 80 dollars.
d. 20 dollars.
Opportunity cost represents the next best alternative missed. It is the forfeited benefits arising from choosing one option over the others. Opportunity cost is expressed as a value or the worth of the forgone alternative.
Lisa's opportunity cost is $ 80. She has valued going out with her friend at $ 80, which is the highest value amongst her three choices. Since she can not engage in all the three activities at the same time, the next best alternative to writing her exam is the opportunity cost.
A trial court hears witnesses testify and examines other information presented to prove the alleged facts and render a legal decision. An appellate court is concerned with the application of law in the decision of a lower court and may affirm, reverse, amend, or remand the decision of a lower court.
Defection rate, or costumer defection rate is one of the major factors due to which a company can hit rock bottom. The costumer defection rate can be defined as the rate at which the existing costumers of a certain company leave a brand, to switch over a competitor, or stop using that certain type of product all together. If the marketers are considering the defection rate of a market segment, it means that they are considering the rate at which costumers are leaving a brand to join another, or leaving that market all together.
