An individual has a non-refundable, pre-paid ticket to a movie that cost them $15. On the same evening, a friend invites them to a free outdoor music festival. The individual cannot attend both events. They estimate the enjoyment they would get from the movie is worth $20 to them, and the enjoyment from the free festival is worth $30. What is the opportunity cost of choosing to go to the free music festival?

Economic Decision-Making: Work vs. Leisure

A student is deciding between two mutually exclusive events on a Friday night. They can either go to a theatre concert with a $25 ticket price, which they value at $40, or attend a free concert in the park, which they value at $30. Evaluate the following statement: 'From a purely economic standpoint, the student should choose the theatre concert because its net benefit ($40 value - $25 cost = $15) is positive.'
