Answer: $359

Explanation:

Opportunity cost refers to the next best benefit that would have been accrued to you if you did not make the decision or embark on a project that you did. In this case therefore that would be the amount you would have earned working which is $180.

It can be measured as an Economic cost which is both the implicit cost and the explicit cost (opportunity cost).

= 84 + 95 + 180

= $359
