Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the profit lost when one choice is chosen over different. The idea is valuable only as a suggestion to consider all logical choices before making a judgment.  If economists regard to the “opportunity cost” of a support, they indicate the importance of the next-highest-valued alternative use of that support.
