Her opportunity cost is $48 (Calculation: 48 = (10*4) + 8) based on her decision in the situation shown in the question above. If Brenda chose to work for four hours, she will not has to spend $8 for the movie ticket and she will get $40 in return for working for four hours. The opportunity cost is the benefit that she will get if she chooses another option.
