How do you calculate opportunity cost examples?
The formula is not “what I sacrifice minus what I gain.” Instead, it is necessary to look at the ratio of sacrifice to gain. Going back to our example, if you chose to spend an hour working as a bartender instead of as a mechanic, then you are actually giving up ($50 mechanic / $25 bartender) = $2 of opportunity cost.
How is opportunity value calculated?
To calculate value per opportunity, you multiply your close rate by your average selling price (ASP). For example, if your close rate is 35% and your ASP is $10,000, then your value per opportunity would be 35% x $10,000 = $3,500. You would expect to win $3,500 for every opportunity you created.
