Here is a good explanation you gave, Andy, but I’d like to give my own. The opportunity cost of any resource (product, service etc.) actually equals the cost (the value) of it in its best usage. It’s very significant in distinguishing accounting and economic profit. The last one is significant for making managerial decisions about where to invest your money, your efforts. It’s also logically close to methods of project analysis, especially to the method, called DCF (discounted cash flows). It takes into account “invisible” benefits from the alternative ways of investing your money, resources. Those alternative benefits turn to costs for your business, because you refuse them for benefit of the only one you’ve chosen. Why did I add “in its best usage”? Well, let’s take again your example with going to school. You assumed that instead of going to school you would be able to earn $30000. I’d like to add to this case, that you would be able to earn $30000, working as a bartender in “Praha”, $25000, working as an accountant assistant and $20000, being a part-time worker in “McDonalds”. In this new situation the opportunity cost remains $30000, because you get the highest price for your labor resource and, thus, the position of the bartender is the best usage for your workforce.

this is a very good question. A couple of days ago , i think about it carefully. Sometimes we must put our eyes in the future and what great chances we will meet after school , we don not know now. maybe good ,maybe bad.

Chris Andersen wrote a great book on the subject of free. I believe it�s still available, free, in audio form from audible. The wonderful thing about the internet is it gives all of us the chance to build relationships at little more cost than our time. Which is slowly killing off the yellow highlighter scorched-earth crowd who still believe they only have one shot at you. Thanks for the great post.
