Provide an example of a sunk cost. How does this differ from a marginal cost? Explain a time you did (or should have) used marginal analysis to solve a problem
The sunk cost is the cost that has been occurred and would never recover. Suppose you have brought a ticket for a movie and couldn't go. Whether you go or not the cost is incurred.
Marginal cost is the cost incurred with an additional unit. Sunk cost differ from Marginal cost in the sense that the former is changing with the additional unit and the latter is one time occurred.
