Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsIf a commodity is provided free to the public by the Government, then:
Which of the given statements is/are correct?
Correct
Inspired by: CSP 2018
Answer: (c)
Opportunity cost
- The opportunity cost, or alternative cost, of making a particular choice is the value of the most valuable choice out of those that were not taken.
- When an option is chosen from alternatives, the opportunity cost is the “cost” incurred by not enjoying the benefit associated with the best alternative choice.
- If one is provided the opportunity to access public services for free, this would always come at a cost of somebody paying for it.
- Hence the tax payer will have to bear this opportunity cost.

Why in the last question, the opportunity cost is not with the government??? The government does not necessarily take the money just from the tax collection, it has interest incomes and profits from PSUs etc??
Option C is more relevant. Interest incomes and profits from PSUs etc come under non-tax revenue which is far less than tax revenue (thumb rule).
can we get pdf with explanation, post completion of quiz ?
