Jane is deciding whether to go to school for 8 weeks this summer. The cost of tuition and textbooks is $1,700 and housing and other expenses will cost her $600

But the best job she can get pays only $600 per week, and Jane would only agree to give up her free time for no less than $750 per week.

Explain. c) What is Jane's total opportunity cost of going to school this summer? Explain your answer. d) Suppose that if Jane does not go to summer school, she will eventually take the classes anyway. What is Jane's marginal benefit of going to summer school? e) Suppose Jane decides to go to school in the summer. Explain her decision using the concepts of marginal cost and marginal benefit.
