Becky's opportunity cost is watching "The Office" and "30 Rock".

Opportunity cost in economics is the theory of one action leading to the refusal or choosing one over the other. This means that the choice left is the opportunity cost of that person.

  • The value of one thing after it is rejected over another choice is the opportunity cost of that option.
  • In the given scenario, Becky has several favorite television shows that she likes.
  • But while her favorite among the 'favorites' is unavailable, she chooses the next best show.
  • This means that she chose the second-best show she likes, leaving out the other shows she still likes.
  • The opportunity cost of Becky would then would be the shows that she 'rejected' or choose to watch, which are "The Office" and "30 Rock".

These television shows may be her favorites but even within them, she has preferences. And in choosing "Parks and Recreation" over "The Office" and "30 Rock" with the unavailability of her first preference, the least favorite shows are Becky's opportunity costs.
