For example:

Suppose a person wants to go in a concert for 2 hours and the ticket price of the concert is $50 and there is a cost of $20 incurred while driving to attend the concert.

He would have been earn wages of $20 per hour.

Therefore, the opportunity cost of attending a concert is as follows:

= $40 + $50 + $20

= $110

Above amount is given up to attend concert.
