Heath Wilburt purchased a previously owned, two-year-old Chevrolet Silverado short-bed pickup truck for $10,200. Since purchasing the car, he has spent the fol- lowing amounts on parts and labor:
New stereo system                $1,200 Trick paint                             400
New tires                              800
Total                             $2,400
Unfortunately, the new stereo doesn’t completely drown out the sounds of a grinding transmission. Apparently, the Silverado needs a considerable amount of work to make it reliable transportation. Heath estimates that the needed repairs include the following:
Â
|
Transmission overhaul |
$2,400 |
|
Water pump |
400 |
|
Master cylinder work |
  1,700 |
|
Total |
$4,500 |
In a visit to a used car dealer, Heath has found a one-year-old Dodge Ram pickup truck in mint condition for $12,300. Heath has advertised and found that he can sell the Silverado for only $9,400, and that is assuming that the truck still runs with its engine problems. If he buys the Dodge Ram, he will pay cash, but he would need to sell the Silverado.
Â
1.   In trying to decide whether to restore the Silverado or buy the Dodge Ram, Heath is distressed because he already has spent $12,600 on the Silverado. The investment seems too much to give up. How would you react to his concern?

2.   Assuming that Heath would be equally happy with the Silverado or the Dodge Ram, should he buy the newer pickup, or should he restore the Silverado?
