False Statement
1. Let's analyze each statement to determine which one is false.
2. Statement 1: "Economics is a study of money and choices." This is true because economics studies how individuals and societies allocate scarce resources, including money, to satisfy their needs and wants.
3. Statement 2: "Opportunity cost refers to the alternative we are sacrificing when making a decision." This is true. Opportunity cost is the value of the next best alternative foregone when a choice is made.
4. Statement 3: "The balance of payment consists of the current - and the capital account." This is true. The balance of payments is divided mainly into the current account and the capital (or financial) account.
