Summary
Relevant costs help with decisions in business finance. Students learn to identify and calculate these costs through practice questions.
Opportunity Costs
Opportunity costs are the benefits lost from choosing one option over another. Students identify opportunity costs in a scenario about a full-time internship.
Sunk Costs
Sunk costs are past costs that do not change with current decisions. Students learn which costs are relevant for financial decisions.
Incremental Costs
Incremental costs are the differences in total cost between decision alternatives. Students calculate incremental costs in various scenarios.
