Maximizing benefits and minimizing costs.
Step 6--Use the Economic Analysis for Decision Making
The opportunity cost is defined as alternative cost - costs measured in output of products and services forgone.It can't be defined as variable cost. In the simple formula p = 2q + 100, we can say that 2 is the variable cost. In other words: it's not fixed like the 100.Opportunity costs are not restricted to financial or monetary costs though. The real costs of output forgone (e.g. when choosing between a number of products like shotguns and bananas), lost time / pleasure, or any other benefit that provides benefit should also be considered opportunity costs. Therefore real costs are part of opportunity costs.

an outcome with benefits that are greater than the costs
benefit/cost analysis
A type of cost-benefit decision making that compares the extra benefits to the extra costs of an action
An outcome with benefits that are greater than the costs.
A cost-benefit analysis (CBA) is conducted in several key steps: Identify the project or decision: Clearly define the scope and objectives of what you are analyzing. List costs and benefits: Identify all potential costs (direct, indirect, and opportunity costs) and benefits (tangible and intangible) associated with the project. Quantify costs and benefits: Assign monetary values to each cost and benefit, often using estimates or market values for intangibles. Compare and analyze: Calculate the net present value (NPV) by subtracting total costs from total benefits, and assess whether the benefits outweigh the costs to inform decision-making.
