Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hans' opportunity cost of doing a load of laundry is the amount of typing he foregoes to do one load of laundry. Since he types 6 pages per hour and does 4 loads of laundry per hour, for each load of laundry, he gives up 1.5 pages (6 pages / 4 loads = 1.5 pages per load).
