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.
Required
Write a list to Joe outlining the relevant costs associated with a trip to the game.

5. Alexander owns an art gallery. He accepts paintings and sculpture on consignment and then
receives 20 percent of the price of each piece as his fee. Space is limited, and there are costs
involved, so Alexander is careful about accepting artists. When he does accept one, he
arranges for an opening show (usually for three hours on a weekend night) and sends out
invitations to his customer list. At the opening, he serves soft drinks and casual munchies to
create a comfortable environment for prospective customers to view the new works and chat
with the artist. On average, each opening costs P500. Alexander has given as many as 20
opening shows in a year. The total cost of running the gallery, including rent, furniture and
fixtures, utilities, and a part-time assistant, amounts to P80,000 per year.
REQUIRED:
1. If the cost driver is the number of opening shows given, classify the following costs as
