Tara earns $8.50 an hour (after taxes) at the pizza place. She is scheduled to work four hours this afternoon. However, her friend Kayla called and asked her if she wants to go to the movie. A ticket to the movie costs $9.50. In addition, she always spends about $7 on snacks.
Which of the following statement are true? Select all that apply.

1. Tara's opportunity cost if she goes to work instead of the movie is $34.
2. Kayla's opportunity cost to go to the movie is $9.50.
3. There is no opportunity cost for Tara to go to the movie.
4. Tara's total cost of attending the movie is $50.5
5. Tara's opportunity cost if she goes to the movie instead of working is $34

Answer 1

Answer:

5 and 2

Explanation:

5 because Tara works $8.50 per hour which she is scheduled to work for 4hours that afternoon is

8.50*4=34 and because she does not do this, it costs her $34

2 because it is stated that kayla called her to go to the movie so meaning she too is going to the movie and she will spend $9.50 so she cannot spend that same money elsewhere and $9.50 becomes her opportunity cost
