Q1. Susie purchased a non-refundable ticket to a soccer match for $20. It will cost her $10 worth of gas and wear and tear to drive to the match, and $5 to park her car. On the day of the match, Susie's boss offers her $100 to come to work instead. In considering what to do, which of the above would be considered a sunk cost?
