Opportunity cost is not an income that you can get or an expense that you spend , its the benefits you could have received by taking an alternative action. so its unrecorded.

Agree with the above answers. Opportunity cost is the income or benefit given up when one alternative is selected over another. Its not recorded in the company books but is considered in making decisions.

Opportunity cost should not be recorded in income statement or balance sheet, but Opportunity cost is cost of an alternative that must be forgone in order to pursue a certain action. Put another way, the benefits you could have received by taking an alternative action.

Example. If we have £20 we can spend it on an economic textbook or we can enjoy a meal in a restaurant. If we spend that £20 on a textbook, the opportunity cost is the restaurant meal we cannot afford to pay.
