Ответ:
2. When Jimmy chose the licorice, his opportunity cost was the jelly beans. (It's the jelly beans since the nut clusters are not included in the next alternative because of his allergies to it.)
3. When Mary chose the jacket, her opportunity cost was either the dress or the shoe, whichever was her next best alternative. (The statement does not give enough information to identify her opportunity cost. It could not be both since an opportunity cost is the next best alternative and not all alternatives.)
4. When Joe chose the Ford truck, his opportunity cost was the Chevrolet.
5. When the city council chose to build the music stage, their opportunity cost was the wading pool. (The parking lot which people would have wanted is not considered because we are talking about the City Council's opportunity cost.)
