Joe sends a check for $218 to the University by July 1 of every year to cover the cost of two tickets for each of the 7 home games plus $50 for a parking permit. Joe has difficulty finding friends to accompany him to the games. However, he is adamant that he must go to the games because he has paid for the tickets. Friends insist that the cost of the tickets is a sunk cost and that the decision should be based on future costs that would be different between alternatives – going to the game and not going to the game. Friends have calculated the fuel for the 6-hour round trip costs $15 and two meals while away from home for the game can easily cost $30 or more.

- Aaron, a resident of Minnesota, has been a driver for Green Delivery Service for the past six years. For this purpose, he leases a truck from Green, and his compensation is based on a percentage of the income resulting from his pickup and delivery services. Green allows its drivers to choose their 10-hour shifts and does not exercise any control on how these services are carried out (e.g., the route to be taken or the order in which parcels are delivered or picked up). Under Green’s operating agreement with its drivers, Green can terminate the arrangement after 30 days’ notice. In practice, however, Green allows its truckers to quit immediately without giving advance notice. The agreement also identifies the drivers as independent contractors. Green maintains no health or retirement plans for its drivers, and each year it reports their income by issuing Forms 1099–MISC (and not Forms W–2). Green requires its drivers to maintain a commercial driver’s license and be in good standing with…arrow_forwardMr. Juan is a retired government employee who is good at baking.
