Being science fragmented in several areas of knowledge, which often do not interact with each other, multidisciplinarity was essential to achieve the proposed objective. It can be concluded that the opportunity cost ranges from R $ 76,371.69 to R $ 383,661.37 in absolute values, ranging from 16.30% to 70.16% of the apartments market value, depending on the scenario.
