Solution
Sunk Costs are costs that have already been incurred in the past and cannot be recovered, regardless of future decisions. Examples include investments in plant, machinery, buildings, or any other expenditure that cannot be reversed. Since these costs cannot be changed by future actions, they are irrelevant for decision-making. Sunk costs should not influence current decisions, as they cannot be recovered, and only future costs and benefits should guide decisions.
Notes
Students should refer to the answer according to the question.
