If I will get to use the space ocuppied by saddles machine to manufacture an X product instead of saddles and make 20000 out of it. Then I will be just losing that amount if I maintain producing saddles instead of X , therefore that would be a + cost of making saddles inhouse Hope this explanation is relevant
HI there, I would have deducted the opportunity cost of $20K from the cost of purchasing from outside supplier; So $50k - $20K. Could you explain to me where my trend of thought is going wrong?
its forgone benefit/revenue cuz they decide to make themselves.. so really, for opportunity cost, there is only addition, no deduction.. hope this helps
I don't think you get the angle. It is saying, if the company choose to manufacture some thing else in house(not seats), it will make a 20000 profit. But now if they choose to make seats in side rather than buying seats from outside suppliers, they'll give up an opportunity on getting a 20000 profit. So by them considering making seats in house, 20000 will be an opportunity benefit forgone
I don't seem to understand why we have to add the opportunity cost instead of subtracting it

@@eternalephemeros3139 THANK YOU I finally got it from your comment
if you subtract the 20k from 50k, the difference between the two is still 16k favoring buy. (30k
why are all your videos not full videos...am crying becase they help me
So, what is the best option here ? To buy it from outside suppliers or to make it?

isn't direct material, indirect material and any of the relevant costs also opportunity costs?
No. An opportunity cost is incurred when you give up profit by choosing a different alternative
