The retailer is left with 15,000 unsold t-shirts that say "Arizona Cardinals - 2009 Super Bowl Champs" after their team lost the Super Bowl. They paid $11.75 per shirt originally. They can either rework the shirts at $5.50 each and sell them for $10.25, sell them for scrap at $2.60 each, or dispose of them otherwise. The sunk costs are the original $11.75 per shirt cost. Reworking the shirts has the highest expected profit at $4.75 per shirt over scrap value.

QUESTION 12 LO.1LO.3 (Relevant costs; sunk costs) Prior to the 2009 Super Bowl, a Phoenixarea retailer ordered 50,000 T-shirts that read: Arizona Cardinals2009 Super Bowl Champs. The company paid $11.75 for each of the custom T-shirts. Following the loss of Arizona to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the retailer found itself with 15,000 unsold T-shirts after the Super Bowl. Before the Super Bowl, the retailer was able to sell 35,000 of the T-shirts at an average per-unit price of $25. The company is currently deciding how to dispose of the 15,000 remaining T-shirts. The retailer has learned from one of its suppliers that each shirt could be reworked at an average cost of $5.50 per shirt (which involves removing the Super Bowl reference from the shirts).

Alternatively, the company could sell the shirts at an average price of $2.60 as scrap material. a.
