Assume you are an engineer working for a chemical production company.

There are several options to consider: stop producing the harmful product altogether and take a hit on total profits; continue to make the product and sell it, like nothing's wrong, since the federal government has not cracked down.

COVID-19 has caused several shortages: paper products, hand sanitizer, and even nurses. When a hospital needs nurses, they might call Fastaff, which has been sending its nurses all around the country. Once a nurse gets an assignment, they pack their bags and need to be there within a week. During a pandemic, these assignments come with some risk, but these nurses are well compensated for their time. “They really run into the fire,” explained Fastaff Senior VP of Marketing Lauren Pasquale-Bartlett. “They’re very brave, they’re like the special forces of nursing. They go in for these really critical assignments.” The need for traveling nurses across the country has increased drastically because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The World of Videos operates a retail store that rents movie videos. For each of the last 10 years, World of Videos has consistently earned profits exceeding $30,000 per year. The store is located on prime real estate in a college town. World of Videos pays $2,400 per month in rent for its building, but it uses only 50 percent of the square footage rented for video rental purposes. The other portion of rented space is essentially vacant. Noticing that World of Videos only occupies a portion of the building, a real estate agent told the owner of World ofVideos that she could add $1,500 per month to her firm’s profits by renting out the unused portion of the store. While the prospect of adding an additional $1,500 to World of Videos’s bottom line was enticing, the owner was also contemplating using the additional space to rent video games. What is the opportunity cost of using the unused portion of the building for video game rentals? Please show me the formula, if there are any. Thank…
