1. For medical doctors, changing their occupation has a high cost ( wage of being a doctor). So they seldom change their occupation.
2. Opportunity cost is the value of the highest-valued option forgone. The cost of being a full-time housewife is the wage of being a lawyer.As the cost of being a full-time housewife is higher than that of employing a Filipino maid, she employs a Filipino maid instead of being a full-time housewife.
2. Opportunity cost is the value of the highest-valued option forgone. The cost of being a full-time housewife is the wage of being a lawyer.As the cost of being a full-time housewife is higher than that of employing a Filipino maid, she employs a Filipino maid instead of being a full-time housewife.
