    Opportunity cost is what occurs based on decisions made during the course of business.  If you decide to purchase x for $1000 which will make you a profit of 30% then later you may not be able to take advantage of purchasing y for $1000 and making a profit of %50.  This can equate to time, purchases, taleent etc.  Each time you make a decision you need to weigh the opportunity cost.  You maybe to busy or unable to handle other things that could cost you $ in the future.
