    1.Temblador Corporation purchased a machine 7 years ago for 319,000 when it launched product E26T. Unfortunately, this machine has broken down and cannot be repaired. The machine could be replaced by a new model 330 machine costing 323,000 or by a new model 230 machine costing 285,000. Management has decided to buy the model 230 machine. It has less capacity than the model 330 machine, but its capacity is sufficient to continue making product E26T. Management also considered, but rejected, the alternative of dropping product E26T and not replacing the old machine. If that were done, the 285,000 invested in the new machine could instead have been invested in a project that would have returned a total of 386,000.In making the decision to buy the model 230 machine rather than the model 330 machine, the sunk cost wasA.319,000B.386,000C.285,000D.323,000 The 319,000 cost of the old machine is a sunk cost.
