Your writing will be evaluated for its overall quality, including how well your essay addresses the topic and organizes, supports, and expresses the main ideas. Varied sentence structure, accurate word usage, and correct spelling, punctuation, and capitalization will also affect the evaluation of your writing.

The Cost of Something
Mankiw’s Ten Principles of Economics
Opportunity cost is the value of the next best alternative in a decision. Imagine that you have $150 to see a concert. You can either see Hot Stuff or you can see Good Times Band. Assume that you value Hot Stuff’s concert at $225 and Good Times’ concert at $150. Both concerts cost $150 per ticket, but it would take you a couple of hours to drive to Hot Stuff’s concert and you have to be in school (the next) morning for an exam. Good Times’ concert is right here in town. Explain how you would assess the opportunity cost of seeing Good Times in concert. What is the opportunity cost of going to Good Times’ concert?

Develop a response that includes examples and evidence to support your ideas, and which clearly communicates the required message to your audience. Organize your response in a clear and logical manner as appropriate for the genre of writing. Use well-structured sentences, audience-appropriate language, and correct conventions of standard American English.
