The cost of an alternative that must be forgone in order to
pursue a certain action. Put another way, the benefits you
could have received by taking an alternative action.
Example: if a gardener decides to grow carrots, his or her
opportunity cost is the alternative crop that might have
been grown instead (potatoes, tomatoes, pumpkins, etc.).

Answer / vijay gawalkar
Scarcity of resources is one of the more basic concepts of
economics. scarvity necessitates trade-offs, and trade-offs
result in an opportunity cost. While the cost of a good or
service often is thought of in monetary terms, the
opportunity cost of a decision is based on what must be
given up (the next best alternative) as a result of the
decision. Any decision that involves a choice between two
or more options has an opprtunity cost.
