94. Opportunity Cost
Opportunity cost incorporates the notion of scarcity: No matter what we do,
there is always a trade-off. We must trade off one thing for another because
resources are limited and can be used in different ways. ____1____, we use up
resources that could have been used to acquire something else. The ___2____ of
opportunity cost allows us to measure this trade-off. Most decisions ___3____
several alternatives. For example, if you spend an hour studying for an
economics exam, you have one fewer hour to ____4_____ other activities. To
____5______ the opportunity cost of an activity, we look at what you consider
the best of these “other” activities. For example, suppose the _____6_____ to
studying economics are studying for a history exam or working in a job that
pays $10 per hour. If you consider studying for history a ___7______ use of your
time than working, then the opportunity cost of studying economics is the
four extra points you could have received on a history exam if you studied
history instead of economics. Alternatively, if working is the best alternative,
the opportunity cost of studying economics is the $10 you could have earned
instead.

equal amount of kilojoules and the same amount of fat. However, body
composition (that is, the ratio of fat to muscle) showed greater improvement
among those people on the higher-protein diet. When the ___2____ in other
studies were allowed to eat until they were no longer hungry, those on the
higher-carbonhydrate diet, even after more than a year. The reduction in
hunger and the beneficial effect on muscle provided by the higher-protein diet
is mostly related to its protein content, while the reduced triglyceride levels
and enhanced fat-loss seem to be related to its lower amounts of
carbonhydrate. The diet is healthy because its protein comes from lean red
meat, fish, chicken and low-fat dairy products, all of which ___3___ good
nutrition. A high-protein diet in which the protein comes from protein
powders and supplements is unlikely to be healthy, unless the supplements
and are ____4___ with vitamins and minerals.
