Answer:

ΔBrad /ΔBeef

Step-by-step explanation:

Opportunity Cost is the cost of next best alternative forgone while making a choice. Eg : If a school teacher is Rs 20000, he / she could have taken coaching classes & earned Rs 15000, the opportunity cost of school teaching is coaching earnings i.e Rs 15000.

Marginal Opportunity Cost is the quantity of a good sacrifised to gain an additional quantity of another good .

MOC = Δ good sacrifised /Δ good gained.

MOC (Brad for a Beer) = ΔBrad /ΔBeef

{∵beef = good sacrifised , brad = good gained}
