Let us calculate the total variable cost; It is 35+12=47$. The opportunity cost refers to the profit that is lost if we stop one activity in favor of another. In this case, the posiible profit is 60-47=13$. Thus, if it is transferred, we have that the profit lost is 13$ and this is the opportunity cost.
