Expert Solution
Step 1

The opportunity cost of a specific activity option in microeconomic theory is the loss of value or benefit that would be suffered (the cost) by engaging in that activity versus engaging in an alternative activity with a higher return in value or benefit.

The majority of daily economic decisions made in society, whether directly or indirectly, are based on opportunity cost. Sacrifice is a cost-of-opportunity calculation in which the decision maker foregoes the next best option.
