Understanding the Answer

Let's break down why this is correct

Answer

Opportunity cost is the value of what you give up when you make a choice. In this case, if producing 10 phones costs 20 burgers, we can find the opportunity cost of making one phone. To do this, we divide the total number of burgers sacrificed by the number of phones produced. So, 20 burgers divided by 10 phones equals 2 burgers per phone. This means that for every phone made, you are giving up the chance to have 2 burgers.

Detailed Explanation

The opportunity cost is what you give up to get something else. Other options are incorrect because This answer suggests you lose too many burgers for each phone; This answer thinks you lose all 20 burgers for just one phone.
