    Answer: Option (c) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Correct option : $30000

    Given that,

    Earned as an accountant = $30000

    Rent from real estate = $12,000

    Video rental store showed total revenue = $60,000

    Total costs = $30,000

    Opportunity cost of previous job = $30000

    Net revenue = Total revenue - Earned as an accountant

    = 60000 - 30000

    = $30,000

    Therefore, our previous salary is same as this net revenue.

    So, the only cost of operating the video store is $30000.
