Sunk costs are costs that have been paid. A variable cost that is paid becomes a form of fixed cost called a sunk cost. Because the cost has already been paid, it is a fixed cost. Avoidable fixed costs become unavoidable fixed costs once the cost has been paid. Likewise, a variable cost becomes a sunk cost once it has been paid as shown in the figure below. For example, purchasing $2,000 worth of erasers to use in making pencils (above) is a sunk cost. So, as you progress through the production period, costs that were initially variable become fixed. Once the pencils are produced and entered into inventory, most of the variable costs have been incurred and become sunk or fixed costs.
