Answer:

The answer is a sunk cost.

Explanation:

Sunk cost is irrelevant in present decision making. It is the cost that had already been incurred. It is irreversible.

Here, $500 spent on fixing the transmission does not matter again.

Opportunity cost is wrong because it means the alternative that has been forgone i.e alternative not chosen. For example, if you have an opportunity to either buy milk or bread and you went for bread, the opportunity cost is the cost of milk you didnt buy.

Incremental cost is also wrong. Incremental cost is the cost that was realized because of a decision.

New quantity 25 units

Formula: (change in quantity demandedY/change in priceX) * (old priceX/old quantityY)

{ (25-20) / ($10-$8) } * (10/20) = 1.25

Decision Rule:

> 0 the 2 products are substitutes

< 0 the 2 products are complements

= 0 the 2 products are independent

From the calculation, the products are substitutes because its Elasticity is greater than 0.
