I'm trying to understand the concept of missed opportunity cost. Could someone explain what it means and how it affects decision-making in business or personal finance? What is the missed opportunity cost?

Opportunity costs represent the profits that a company or individual fails to achieve.

These costs reflect the potential earnings lost due to choosing one course of action over another.

Essentially, opportunity cost can be seen as the benefit forgone by not selecting the alternative with the highest potential return.

The concept of missed contribution margin is closely related to opportunity costs. It represents the net revenue lost after accounting for the variable costs that were avoided.

In other words, it's the difference between the potential revenues that could have been generated and the variable costs that were not incurred.
