Answer #1

DEFINITION: An accounting/economics term referring to the value of something given up to pursue something else.

EXAMPLE; this could be going to the movies. The cost of going to the movie is £5.00 or whatever the charges, + all the extras you purchase. The opportunity cost would be something else you could have done with that time, such as studying. etc

I hope that helped you. if not I could try and explain and give more examples, just funmail me. take care xx
