Opportunity cost is the value of the next best alternative that must be given up when a choice is made. In other words, it represents the benefits, profits, or satisfaction you forgo by choosing one option over another. For example, if an investor uses $100,000 to purchase a rental property, the opportunity cost might be the return they could have earned by investing that same money in stocks or bonds instead.
