Answer / krishnachaitanyanellore
Sunk cost is the historical cost incurred in the past. This
may not be useful for the decision making process.
Ex: To dispose my machinery I have no use of knowing how
much it is depreciated till now.What I want is just the
current market price.
So,Sunk cost is immaterial.
