Respuesta :

Answer:

$100

Explanation:

Opportunity cost refers to the benefit that is sacrificed by selecting some other option or alternative.

Loss of money income:

= 5 hours × $8 per hour

= $40

Expenses for attending the concert:

= Ticket price + Parking cost

= $40 + $20

= $60

Therefore, the opportunity cost of attending the concert is as follows:

= Wages that would have been earned +  Expenses to attend the concert

= $40 + $60

= $100
