For example, if you owned a car and payed for repairs that were not refundable and were deciding whether or not to purchase a new car, you would not consider the repair costs in your decision because those costs have already been made and you cannot receive the money back. You would only consider the costs that you may incur in the future when making your decision whether or not to purchase another car. Sunk costs are not considered in your decision.
