258) Dominik Corporation purchased a machine 5 years ago for $527,000 when it launched
product M08Y. Unfortunately, this machine has broken down and cannot be repaired. The
machine could be replaced by a new model 310 machine costing $545,000 or by a new model
240 machine costing $450,000. Management has decided to buy the model 240 machine. It has
less capacity than the model 310 machine, but its capacity is sufficient to continue making
product M08Y. Management also considered, but rejected, the alternative of dropping product
M08Y and not replacing the old machine. If that were done, the $450,000 invested in the new
machine could instead have been invested in a project that would have returned a total of
$532,000.
In making the decision to buy the model 240 machine rather than the model 310 machine, the
sunk cost was:
A) $545,000
B) $450,000
C) $527,000
D) $532,000

260) Management of Plascencia Corporation is considering whether to purchase a new model
370 machine costing $360,000 or a new model 220 machine costing $340,000 to replace a
machine that was purchased 7 years ago for $348,000. The old machine was used to make

that were done, instead of investing $340,000 in the new machine, the money could be invested
in a project that would return a total of $411,000.
