The quantity of evening gowns that could not be sewn as a result
Real cost (opportunity cost) refers to the alternative commodity or satisfaction sacrificed when limited resources are allocated to a particular line of production. Sacrificing evening gowns to produce uniforms represents the real cost of the choice.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the resource constraint and choice
The quantity of fabric is limited, making it impossible to produce both uniforms and gowns to full capacity simultaneously.
Scarcity of resources forces economic agents to make choices.
2
Apply the definition of real cost
Real cost (opportunity cost) is defined as the real goods or services foregone when a decision is made.
Distinguishing real cost from financial outlay is essential in economic reasoning.
3
Determine the foregone alternative
Choosing to devote the limited fabric to school uniforms means giving up the evening gowns that could have been produced.
The unproduced evening gowns represent the true sacrifice or real cost of producing uniforms.
