Many projects use resources that the company already owns. An opportunity cost is the cost of using a resource that otherwise could have provided value to the firm. The opportunity cost of using a resource is the value it could have provided in its best alternative use. Because this value is lost when a resource is used by another project, we should always include the opportunity cost as an incremental cost of the project.
