Yoghurt : Explaining S, C and OP Costs PDG 03/12









hi

Opportunity costs involved

IF business fails, capital will be totally lost
IF business fails, he will be unable to find a well-paying job as his academic qualifications : only up to A LEVEL
If he wants a better job, he would have to enrol into a university for a degree or poly to obtain a diploma.

WASTE TIME AND $!!!

Lesser time for other things eg. Self, family, friends, social life
Time used to research
Time used to manage stall
Time dedicated to establishing own business
Will not obtain a Degree
Unable to find a job that yields a higher salary IF own business fails.
Can't experience lifestyle in Uni

Choice made

Yoghurt stall to be set up in AMK
After this choice has been made, there will be opportunity costs involved

Scarcity faced

but when we make a choice, there are opportunity costs involved!
therefore we can only choose to allocate our scarce resources to 1 of the choice.
RESOURCES : MONEY, TIME and ENERGY
hence, with limited resources for unlimited wants, SCARCITY is present
These are ALL LIMITED
Wants : UNI or OWN BUSINESS
