Like a good economist, you calculated the opportunity cost of getting your college degree. suppose that at your university, you will pay $12000 each year for tuition, $3000 each year for textbooks, and $12000 per year for room and board. before you left for college, your boss at your high-school job offered you a job paying $15000 per year. assume that if you decided not to go to college, your parents would not let you live at home. what is your opportunity cost for four years of college?

The opportunity cost of going to college should include the direct costs of getting an education (tuition and books) plus the income you could have earned if you did not go to college. Over four years, the opportunity cost is equal to:

4 × ($15000  + $2500 + $20000) = $150000

the u.s. census bureau produces data on the population and economy nationwide. it can you to analyze the kind of people living in your neighborhood. it does not show you the market of people willing to buy your product or an existing market for your product. that will require more market research. the census bureau only gives you an insight to the demographics in your area.

i know right it’s not fair some people are just so rude unlike you your actually trying to get to know people and i think that is very kind
