14 comments:

  1. The cost of an alternative that must be forgone in order to do something. Basically, the benefits you could have received by taking the next best alternative. In this case the second option is the opportunity cost because they have forgone the next best alternative. They chose to open 50 new branches rather then buy an insurance company.
