No

Opportunity by definition is the cost of the next best alternative not taken by the business.

To give an example, if a firm makes £100,000 net profit , the opportunity cost could be for example, the interest not gained because the money has been invested in to the business rather than put in the bank.

Profits are worked out as follows:

Revenue - Cost of Sales (this is how much the raw materials cost to produce the output)

= Gross Profit

Then deduct all expenses such as Overheads (i.e. water bill, rent, rates etc)

and deduct any depreciation charges or other expenses

You are then left with Net Profit (before tax)

You then deduct tax payable on the profit

then deduct any money you are goin to pay to shareholders

Then you are left with Net Profit after Tax (also called Retained Profit)

Hope that makes sense
