icky Torres and Juanita Alva were the first in line at Best Buy during a Black Friday sale so that they could secure a large$-$screen TV$,$ which was normally $$499$ and was advertised on sale at $$199.$ Because they arrived three weeks early, they ended up waiting in line for a total of $500$ hours! The authors of your textbook found their choice puzzling because of the high opportunity cost in this scenario. The authors say:

$$Saving $$300$ by spending $500$ hours makes Vicky and Juanita$$s time worth $60$ cents an hour. They could have spent $30$ hours working an extra job at $$10$ an hour and each earned enough money to purchase the TV at full price$$and still had $470$ hours to do other things. In short, they don$$t seem to have been aware of the opportunity cost of waiting in line.$$

But this is not the only conclusion one can draw from Vicky and Juanita$$s behavior. Select the conclusion that would be consistent with the idea that Vicky and Juanita were aware of the opportunity costs yet still found the three$-$week$-$wait to be worthwhile.

$$If they are able to camp out for three weeks, they probably do not have full$-$time jobs, so earning $60$ cents an hour is a good decision for the shoppers.$$

$$However$,$ they might have enjoyed the experience of camping out in line, meeting other customers, and gaining a degree of fame for their commitment to $$getting a good deal.$$

$$Vicky and Juanita really enjoy their high paying jobs and don$$t like camping at all.$$
