Question

Final Answer : False, Explanation :  The $25 is a sunk cost, meaning it's already spent and cannot be recovered. Staying at the amusement park solely to justify the expense, despite not enjoying it due to the rain, does not change the fact that the money is already spent. Decisions should be based on current and future benefits, not past costs.
