Opportunity costs

IGC-DEFINITION (abbreviated)

Opportunity costs / Opportunitätskosten
Opportunity costs are the costs of the alternative use of a factor in short supply. They are to be considered in decision accounting when a bottleneck situation occurs. If, for example, there is a shortage of production capacity and a product cannot be manufactured in adequate quantities, then the predictable losses in contribution margin are the opportunity costs to choose the other product.
