    transportation expenses = $1,000

    hotel expenses = $1,500

    food expenses = $500

    sightseeing and buying souvenirs expenses = $1,000

    additional transportation expenses = $ 200

    Total Expenses = $ 4200

    In case of cancellation of trip

    Total loss = $ 1500

    This is the opportunity cost for him in this trip

    Hence, in order to save the additional expenditure of $200, Mikael will have to bear a loss of $ 1500.
