Given,
Andrew's earning was $55,000 per year.
Fees(tuition and other related expense) for MBA school that Andrew joined $25,000 per year.
To find: total cost of the degree(explicit cost+opportunity cost)
Solution:
Explicit cost = fees for the course including all the expenses = $25,000 per year for 2 years = $25,000*2 = $50,000.
Opportunity cost = the loss of benefits from one alternative when other alternative is chosen. In this case, it is salary from the job which Andrew quits to join MBA school = $55,000 per year for 2 years = 55000*2 = $1,10,000.
So, total cost of the degree = $50,000 + $1,10,000 = $1,60,000
Answer: Option C $1,60,000
