TOTAL FACTOR COST, PERFECT COMPETITION The opportunity cost incurred by a perfectly competitive firm when using a given factor of production to produce a good or service. This is the total cost associated with the use of a particular resource or factor of production--it is the total cost of the factor.

Two derivative factor cost measures are average factor cost and marginal factor cost.
