Sagot :

Answer: $111,000

Explanation:

The opportunity costs incurred by Jack and Jill include:

  • Wages of $15,000 paid to employee
  • Cost of equipment and goods and services
  • Interest sacrificed on capital put into business
  • Salary that Jack gave up
  • Hours of leisure given up by Jill
  • Depreciation of equipment

Opportunity costs were therefore:

= 15,000 + 30,000 + 10,000 + (30,000 * 5%) + 40,000 + (25 * 10 * 50 weeks) + (30,000 - 28,000)

= $111,000
