Expert Solution
Step 1ive

Opportunity Cost: Opportunity Cost defines the potential benefits an individual, or an investor misses out on or rather gives up to choose an alternative method in the perception of gaining benefit from that choice.

To explain with example if an individual or investor chooses an alternative opportunity over their existing mode of income then the calculation of earning from the alternative source of income needs to be greater than the income getting earned at present, then only the opportunity cost will be positive and beneficial to the individual or investor.
