what is sunk cost..

Answer / uday

Sunk cost is Past cost and it will not reversed because it
is immaterial cost and there is no use to make the decision
making. for eg: If u Have one bike but your employer
offering fuel allowance per km Rs.2/- for Bike and Rs.3/-
for car. but already you have one bike so you can get only
Rs.2/- for Bike so that car cost is Rs 3/- is sunk cost
because you can know the cost only but it cannot be reversed.

what is sunk cost..

Answer / abhishek gupta

sunk cost is the cost which has incurred in the past or in history and it could not be reversible in the present and future.
its also not useful to take decision in business.
example- like i purchased a bike of Rs. 80000 but after some time if we sell it could not be resale of rs. 80000.
so in breir we can say the it is the diffrence between purchase and sell price.
