Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

Jamie and Danny both attend the same college and incur the same expenses for tuition books and school supplies.

Jamie was doing a modeling job before joining college, while Danny was working as a sales clerk in a department store.

Jamie was likely getting better pay than Danny, so the opportunity cost of attending college will be greater for Jamie. This is because Jamie is sacrificing higher pay as compared to Danny.
