Is it possible to incur opportunity cost without spending any money?
Opportunity cost can also deal with time. For example, shopping at Wal-mart versus shopping at sears, Khols, and giant eagle will lower your opportunity cost. At Wal-mart you'll be able to find many of the items you'd typically be looking for when shopping (whether they are better or not is up to you). My point is that from this example, your opportunity cost is lower shopping at W-mart because you are saving time. In my opinion, opportunity cost means "time is money."
Define opportunity costs?
The cost of passing up the next best choice when making a decision. For example, if an asset such as capital is used for one purpose, the opportunity cost is the value of the next best purpose the asset could have been used for. Opportunity cost analysis is an important part of a company's decision-making processes, but is not treated as an actual cost in any financial statement.
Does an opportunity cost have value?
opportunity cost can have a value, especially if you are looking at such things as the college/job thing. If you go to college rather than take a job, your opportunity cost is the amount of money you lose from not working at the job. Opportunity cost does not always have to have a value. Again with the college/job example, if you take a job rather than go to college, your opportunity cost can be things like more education and college memories, etc. Opportunity cost is simply "what you give up". Therefore, if you are giving up money, your opportunity cost has a monetary value. If you are giving up education or experience or the like, your opportunity cost technically has no monetary value, but you are still giving something up. Hope that answers the question.
