How do we decide on opportunity cost when we have several opportunities that need to be foregone?

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: We rank all the foregone opportunities, and opportunity cost is the second best opportunity that we forego. Thus we select the best opportunity and rank all the alternative opportunities and use the cost of the second best opportunity as opportunity cost.
