تكلفة الفرصة البديلة
تكاليف الفرصة البديلة: هي جملة المنافع النظرية التي قد ترد للمشروع او هيئة معينة، لو لجأت الى خيارات اخرى. ويتم تقديرها ومقارنتها مع التكاليف الفعلية او المنتظرة، الناتجة عن تنفيذ المشروع بصيغته المبرمة. فإذا كانت التكاليف الفعلية أعلى من تكاليف الفرص البديلة، اعتبر المشروع غير كفؤ الى حد ما، او ضعيف الكفاية. لكن يمكن احياناً اعتبار الخيار الحالي هو الافضل، حتى لو ذات تكلفة أكبر من الناحية المالية، اذا كان يلبي احتياجات انسانية طارئة، او يفي بتعهدات اخلاقية او معنوية.
In economic terms, the opportunities forgone in the choice of one expenditure over others.
For a consumer with a fixed income, the opportunity cost of buying a new dishwasher might be the value of a vacation trip never taken or several suits of clothes unbought. The concept of opportunity cost allows economists to examine the relative monetary values of various goods and services.
