    I'm an IGCSE student studying Economics recently and willing to take Economics as a major subject too. Thank you so much for uploading those kinds of videos. I did struggle to understand what opportunity cost supposed to mean but yours was a big assist to me. Have a nice day!

    Since one compares one one did against all possible hypotheticals, the opportunity cost could be ANYTHING. Even a gain.

    The video is very well explained, the examples (especially the firework one) are very helpful! One question I have is that: Do we always have to give up a "second-best alternative"? Furthermore, a suggestion is that, not all bakers are given the opportunity to have USD 3600 salary, so the baker might have just increased his business through improving his own skills. A very well-made video, truly helpful, thank you!

    5% interest in a savings account? Not exactly. The average savings account has a 0.06% interest rate. Inflation is nearly 3% each year. Your money loses its value in a savings account to inflation every year. Even the rare accounts that promise 1-2% APY (Annual Percentage Yield), that interest only accrues for the first $5,000 or so. How would banks make money on compound interest of 5%? That is HIGHLY unrealistic and misleading information. Your point of opportunity cost was well contructed and the video content quality was great. Just don't want people to realisticly expect an unrealistic APY.

      It was just an example to show an opportunity cost scenario. It wasn't meant to reflect real numbers. It was meant to explain an idea.

    If i have option A to invest 1000$ in fish firm and inreturn i will get 10%. And option B to invest in agriculture firm and in return i will get 5% ..
    I have chosen option A .
    My question is
    Is there any opportunity cost exist? If yes thn how much?
    Is there always an opportunity cost?
    Plz let me know .. . I have search though all over Google .. and i find out there is always an opportunity cost ..i did not understand the detail

    Really helpful but I have a query?
    Muchuu works for a loadsheding firm and gets remunerated a monthly wage of K500.00. He always spends all the K500.00 on buying 5kg of Mealie Meal only which he buys at K100/kg. One day, amidst of Covid 19 pandemic, the price of Mealie Meal increased to K120/kg. Due to the snap change in the price, Muchuu's Supervisor approached him and gave him two (2) options to choose from;
    i. Reduce Muchuu's wage to K400.00 and supplying him with 5kg of Mealie Meal at K80/kg monthly.
    ii.Increase his wage to K600.00.
    As a smart student of Principles of Economics and within a page, kindly advise Muchuu to make a justified rational choice.

    • @ExploreLearnEnglishWithGeorge
      @ExploreLearnEnglishWithGeorge 4 года назад +1

      Option ii. will look better at Muchuu's curriculum vitae, so when you're next looking for a job you (Muchuu ) can say at your last job you were earning K600 and you're now looking for a job that pays more...no matter how much crap you can buy for it (esspecially if both options equal the same amount of the fictional Mealie Meal). K600 is a better starting position for negotiating the price of your future work - that's my humble opinion.
      I'm guessing you're a kid so I am not going into more complex extrapolations.

    I think the baker can grow his business by spending his skills on his own company and can hire people to help him grow his business.. Not all bakers are given the opportunity to have USD 3600 salary.

    The specific examples you've listed here are absolutely piss-poor, but the underlying lesson is very important for people to know. This video was very close to being a classic, but it's still a 7.6/10 (even with the lack of hard-hitting example scenarios and boring monotone narration) and I'll be checking back on this channel in the future.
