Abstract

We will examine first a concept of cost which has some claim to orthodoxy, and after that consider the concept of real cost which was held by Jevons and Marshall. According to the orthodox view, the cost of any choice is the most favorable alternative which the individual gives up in making the choice: it is the opportunity just displaced and may be referred to either as the opportunity cost or the displacement cost.1
