Respuesta :

Answer:

correct answer is a. yes

Explanation:

given data

spent = $1000

estimates of sales = $2000

total sales = $800

hot-dog stand for another  = $300

solution

we already spent here  $1000 and assuming it is not recover

so If you do nothing it will be sunk cost in future

and

when we spend $300 another and earn $800

so we make here = $1000 + $300 - $800 = $500

so we can lose $500

so here lose $500 is better than lose $1000

so correct answer is a. yes
