Research was conducted by professor jobs to check which one program out of three

We have that the student gains the same reward completing any one of the three programs; thus the program with the least cost is optimal. We have that the first program costs 38.600$. Nevertheless, we need to also account for the lost opportunity, which is 2000$ per month. Thus, instead of going to the program, the student could have saved 38.600$+6*2000$=50.600$. Now for the 12month program, we have similarly 35.000$+12*2000$=59.000$. Finally, for the 15month program, the calculation yields: 28.600$+15*2000$=58.600$. We see that the best program to attend is the 6-month one (lowest total opportunity cost); despite it being the most expensive one, after completing it the student can make up for it by grabbing the other opportunity and making 2000$ per month (in the other programs, the student cannot work for 6 or 9 months more than this program).

Economics is regarded as social science because build it uses scientific methods to explain the theories that can help explain the behaviour of individuals, groups and organisations. Economics attempts to explain economic behaviour, which arises when scarce resources are exchanged
