9. Savannah’s grandparents are excited about finally paying off their car because, as they say, “Our cost of
driving is now zero.” Savannah should explain to them the economic concept of:

b. opportunity cost: by driving the car, they are giving up the opportunity to sell it, buy a smaller one, and
