When economists refer to the “opportunity cost” of a resource, they mean the value of the next-highest-valued alternative use of that resource. If, for example, you spend time and money going to a movie, you cannot spend that time at home reading a book, and you can't spend the money on something else.
Opportunity cost is the profit lost when one alternative is selected over another.It the next best alternative cost.
Example - Use your savings to go on a vacation or buy an asset from the same money.
