Question

Savion is restoring a car and has already spent $4,000 on the restoration. He expects to be able to sell the car for $5800. Savion discovers that he needs to do an additional $2,400 of work to make the car worth $5,800 to potential buyers. He could also sell the car now, without completing the additional work, for $3,800. What should he do?.

Answer 1

Based on the selling price of the car and the cost to work on it, Savion should sell the car now for $3,800.

Why should Savion sell the car?

The profit if he works on the car is:

= Selling price - Addtional work cost

= 5,800 - 2,400

= $3,400

The profit from selling the car is $3,800 which is more than the profit if additional work is done of $3,400.

The $4,000 is irrelevant as it is a sunk cost.
