If she spends twenty-one thousand in cash from her savings account to purchase a new car what she “could have” done with that money on an alternative solution is the opportunity cost.

An activity done by extrinsic motivation may not be done because a person enjoys it, it’s often done because they want the end outcome.

Potential customers can range from the individual or business looking for a new vehicle to those that need to maintain what they currently own. Big Drive should focus on satisfying the needs of both potential customers in order to continue to be profitable.
