Yes, the displaced line of production no longer earns the going interest rate of return because costs have risen and revenues have not. The value of having the input in the expanded line exceeds its opportunity cost in the alternative displaced line of production. That is what justifies allocating the input into the expanded line of production and away from the displaced line of production.
