Answer: 3

Explanation: The opportunity cost could be explained as, the opportunity or potential opportunity lost as a result of choosing a certain alternative over the other.

Number of initial batches made from one kind of cookie = 5

Number of batches he's now made from another kind of cookies ;

The opportunity cost is thus :

(5 - 2) = 3
