Marie decides to work all summer rather than going on vacation. She will be able to earn money and learn new skills but will not be able to spend much time with her friends. What is the opportunity cost in this scenario?

An opportunity cost is the loss of potential gain when you choose another option. In this case, the time spent with her friends would be the opportunity cost.
