After working weekends for the past three years, Janet has saved $7,000. Her goal is to buy a new 90-inch HD television. Before she buys the TV, she is offered an opportunity to travel with her best friend to Australia and New Zealand. The trip will cost about $7,000.

Janet’s opportunity costs are either missing out on purchasing a new television (if she chooses to travel) or forgoing her plan to purchase a television (if she travels abroad).

Now, write your own scenario that illustrates opportunity costs.
