Opportunity Cost of purchasing 60 hydraulic operated equipment is 120 mechanically operated equipment

Therefore Opportunity Cost of pushing one hydraulic equipment calculated as below:

The opportunity cost of One Hydraulic to Mechanical = "\\frac{60}{60}" = 1 ;


To mechanical equipment ="\\frac{120}{60}" =2


The opportunity cost of purchasing 1 hydraulic operated equipment is 2 of purchasing mechanically operated equipment
