The cost of an alternative that must be forgone in order to pursue a certain action. Put another way, the benefits you could have received by taking an alternative action.

For example if you are doing work already and earning 10 and you have a new opportunity to start new project with return of 11 then 10 already you are earning is your opportunity cost to start new project.
