Synopsis: Bernheim and Whinston’s Microeconomics focuses on the core principles of the intermediate microeconomic course: individuals and firms making decisions, competitive markets, and market failures. An accessible text that does not require knowledge of calculus, Microeconomics utilizes examples and integrates topics that will stimulate and motivate students. Key advantages of Bernheim and Whinston’s approach are: 1) A fresh, up-to-date treatment of modern microeconomic theory.

2) A clear and engaging writing style, along with innovative pedagogy that provides students with more accessible ways to understand and master difficult concepts. 3) Numerous real-world applications that are closely tied to the theoretical material developed in the text. 4) Teaches students to solve a wide range of quantitative problems without requiring calculus. About the Author: Michael D. Whinston is the Robert E.

(July 2010) () In and business decision-making, sunk cost refers to the that has already been incurred and cannot be recovered. Sunk costs (also known as retrospective costs) are sometimes contrasted with, which are future costs that may be incurred or changed if an action is taken. In that regard, both retrospective and prospective costs could be either fixed costs (continuous for as long as the business is in operation and unaffected by output volume) or variable costs (dependent on volume). However, many economists consider it a mistake to classify sunk costs as 'fixed' or 'variable.' For example, if a firm sinks $400 million on an enterprise software installation, that cost is 'sunk' because it was a one-time expense and cannot be recovered once spent.

The upfront irretrievable payment for the installation should not be deemed a 'fixed' cost, with its cost spread out over time. Sunk costs should be kept separate. The 'variable costs' for this project might include data centre power usage, for example. In traditional theory, only prospective (future) costs are relevant to an investment decision.
