Imagine and then describe a purchase you might make for which you would consider “opportunity cost.” Explain why you would choose to consider opportunity cost in that situation.

What will be an ideal response?


Since opportunity costs are a combination of a direct outlay of funds, plus
costs that do not involve an outlay of funds, check responses to see whether your students realize that opportunity cost is a combination of factors. Their narrative should show that they are considering opportunity costs because as a wise consumer they want to select the service with the lowest opportunity cost. They should be aspiring to attain economic benefi ts that exceed opportunity costs.
