Answer:

The answer is sunk cost

Step-by-step explanation:

This cost cost is a sunk cost because it had already been incurred and it is not relevant for decision making again. It cannot be reversed again. Since decision-making is a forward-looking process, sunk costs should be disregarded in the decision-making process.

Example of sunk cost is also money spent on research and development of a product.
