You are earning $40,000 per year as a branch manager at Dunkin Donuts. You are planning on leaving your job and going back to college; upon learning this, your branch manager offers you a 10% increase in salary to stay. Knowing this, how does the opportunity cost of going to college change?

Answer:

It increases the opportunity cost because you are foregoing more money for college.

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the benefit profit, or value of something that is missed or given up when an individual chooses one alternative over another.  

The 10% rise in salary offered by the branch manager increases the opportunity cost of going to college. This is because the higher cost (money) you could have earned by not going to college is foregone.
