Here are three things you could do if you do not attend your neighbor's barbecue: watch television with some friends (you value

this at $17), read a good novel (you value this at $14), or go in to work (you could earn $16 during the barbecue). The opportunity cost of going to your neighbor's barbecue is
a. $16, because this is the only alternative of the three where you actually receive a monetary payment.
b. $14, because this is the lowest valued alternative forfeited.
c. $17, because this is the highest valued alternative forfeited.
d. $47, because this is the total dollar sum of the alternatives forfeited.

Answer: Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Alternatives for a person if he do not attend his neighbor's barbecue:

(1) Watch television with some friends = he value this at $17

(2) Read a good novel = he value this at $14

(3) Go in to work = he could earn $16 during the barbecue

Opportunity cost is the benefit that is foregone for an individual by choosing one alternative over other alternatives available to him.

If the opportunity cost is lower for an individual then this will benefit him whereas if the opportunity cost is higher then this will not benefit the individuals.

Therefore, the opportunity cost of going to his neighbor's barbecue is the enjoyment he get from watching television with some friends because this is the highest valued alternative forfeited.

Sonja [21]

Answer:

Master status

Explanation:

In the social development of an individual, some certain set of characteristics or social identity is peculiar to individuals in which that individual is known for. Such social identity is what we refer to as the status of an individual.  

Status of an individual can be achieved or ascribed.

Ascribed status on the or hand are statuses that an individual is born with, such as sex, race etc.

As an individual develops and interacts in a society, any particular status that makes a person well known for and easily identified with is referred to as the master status of the individual. The master status overrides other statuses of the individual. It is the status that confers a social identity that is exceptional on an individual. Master status can be ascribed or achieved.

North Carolina law also sets a deadline of 5 calendar days to cancel a timeshare contract, so this buyer barely made it on time. A buyer cannot waive his right to cancellation, even if the option is not included in the contract.
