Answer:

5 bushels of corn

Explanation:

The term opportunity cost refers to the loss from some potential gain when one alternative is chosen while leaving the other opportunities.

In United States, a worker in a day can produce 10 bushels of corn or can produce 2 shirts.

Thus the ratio is

      10 bushels of corn :  2 shirts

or     5 bushels of corn :  1 shirts

Therefore the opportunity cost of a shirt in the United States is 5 bushels of corn.

Thus the answer is 5 bushels of corn.
