$14,000 rent

$21,000 supplies

$9,000 on plant time

The answer would be D. $44,000

because $14,000 + $21,000 + $9,000 = $44,000

The question is "What is Jacinda's opportunity cost of running the business?"

And that doesn't inculed her personally stuff.

I hope this helps, tell me if its wrong and I fix it. Have a good day!!
