OPPORTUNITY COST – Chapter 3
Opportunity Cost Is a Ratio
O.C. cell phone =
# DVD lost
# Cell phone gained
O.C. DVD
=
# cell phones lost
# DVDs gained
When the opportunity cost of a cell phone is x DVDs,
the opportunity cost of a DVD is 1/x cell phones.
INCREASING OPPORTUNITY COSTS
ARE EVERYWHERE

Expenditure Approach:
GDP = C + I + G + NX
(Consumption, Investment, Government, Net Exports)
Net Exports = Exports - Imports
Savings = Y – C - NT
Income Approach:
GDP = W + I + R + P + Indirect taxes – Subsidies + Depreciation
GDP = Net domestic product at factor cost+ Indirect taxes – Subsidies +
Depreciation
Net Domestic Product at Factor Cost = Wages + Interest + Rent + Profit
Total Income: Y = C + S + NT
(Consumption + Savings + Net Taxes)
Income = Expenditure
RGDP per Person = RGDP / Population
