    Option (a) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Sunk cost refers to a cost that is already incurred and cannot be recovered. It cannot be changed from any future decision.

    Given that,

    Original cost of the equipment = $500,000

    Accumulated depreciation = $460,000

    Sunk cost in this situation:

    = Original cost of the equipment - Accumulated depreciation

    = $500,000 - $460,000

    = $40,000
