    REF: Decision Trees Part 2 – ACCA Performance Management (PM) / Cost of Market Research.

    Would you agree that the cost of $200 k is a sunk cost and shall not be taken into consideration for a decision making of this type?

    Thank you.

    I am sorry but I have no idea what example you are referring to.

    This is about Chapter 10, Example 2.

    Decision at 1: choose market research, $7.43 m being the difference between the cost of market research of $0.20 m and the Expected value at Node F of $ 7.63 m.

    $7.43m = 7.63m – 0.20m

    Thank you

    No it is not a sunk cost.

    They have not yet spent anything on market research and are deciding how much it is worth spending.

    I do hope that you are not using the notes without watching the lectures because that would be pointless. They are lecture notes not a Study Text and it is in the lectures that I work through all the examples, and explain and expand on the notes. If you are not watching the lectures for any reason then you need to buy a Study Text from one of the ACCA Approved Publishers and study from there.

    Thank you for your response.

    I have watched your Lectures, and have bought the revision kit of BPP.
