Bellington, Inc is considering the purchase of new, sophisticated machinery for a special
three-year project.
The machinery requires a special lubricating oil that probably will never be
used, but must be available at all times should the machine break down. Bellington purchases
2,000 of lubricating oil to keep on hand just in case it is needed. At the end of the three-year
project, it is expected the lubricating oil can be sold back to the distributor for 2,000. Which of the
following statements is MOST correct?
A) The 2,000 represents an additional investment in working capital that should be included in

B) The 2,000 for the lubricating oil should be excluded from the analysis because it is recovered

D) The lubricating oil is a sunk cost that should be excluded from the analysis.
