How could opportunity cost be examined?

Opportunity cost is the cost of the next-best choice available to someone who has to pick between several choices. It is a key concept in economics used to describe "the basic relationship between scarcity and choice". Opportunity cost is examined by selecting one option and then comparing the expected rewards of that option to the rewards of next option. If a company had money to invest in either marketing or production the opportunity cost of one would be the loss of benefit form not picking the other. For example if the company chooses to invest in marketing instead of improving manufacturing (its next best option) which would increased profits $100000 the opportunity cost of the decision is said to be $100000. If the company makes more than $100000 the company has made a good decision. If the increase in marketing does not make $100000 for the company the decision is considered not at as good as the lost opportunity-cost. It would have been more profitable to invest in the option not selected.


Distinguish opportunity cost and out of pocket cost?

Opportunity cost is the cost that one incurs from not taking an action as compared to taking another action. Stock markets are a good example of this. Say you can invest in company A and company B. You invest for 6 months. Let's say you chose company A. Over those six months, company A's stock price goes up by $5 and company B's price goes up by $11. You made a profit of $5 per share. But your opportunity cost was $6 because you could have invested in company B and made $6 more. This is important because your money would have been more efficiently spent on company B (and economics is all about efficiency). Out of pocket costs are costs that you would directly incur for any given action. Back to the stock market example. Say your broker charges you $1 to buy a share in company A and $2 to invest in company B. Those costs are out of pocket. One important point is that you may know what your opportunity costs are. In the stock market example you do not know what your opportunity costs are, but in many situations this is not the case.


What are the examples of opportunity cost in a business?

An opportunity cost means that, in order to do one thing, you must give up something else (those something else's are the opportunity costs). An example of an opportunity cost would be the large amount of money that would need to be invested in order for a company to make itself more environmentally-friendly (like installing solar panels).


What was its opportunity cost?

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.
