Ben has two options this weekend. He could work at his job and earn $8 per hour for three hours, or he could go to an exhibit at the art museum for that three hours. A ticket for the event costs $30. What is the opportunity cost of the event?

Answer 1

Answer:

Opportunity cost= -$54

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

He could work at his job and earn $8 per hour for three hours, or he could go to an exhibit at the art museum for those three hours. A ticket for the event costs $30.

The opportunity cost is the "cost" of not taking other alternatives.

Opportunity cost= total revenue - economic profit

Opportunity cost= -30 - 24= -$54
