The ureters are muscular tubes approximately 30 centimeters long. It exits the kidney at the hilum, comes into close contact with common iliac arteries from the aorta.

2. An example of sunk costs in accounting is the book value of existing assets such as fixed assets (e.g., machinery, equipment), inventory, investments, etc. Depreciation, amortization, and impairments also represent sunk costs.he equipment is worth zero. The remaining book value is $2,000 (i.e., $10,000 8 x $1,000). Asset write down (i.e., loss) represents a sunk cost. Even if the company continued using the equipment for the next two years, the remaining $2,000 would still need to be written off as a depreciation expense.
Depreciation is systematic allocation the cost of a fixed asset over its useful life. It is a way of matching the cost of a fixed asset with the revenue (or other economic benefits) it generates over its useful life. Without depreciation accounting, the entire cost of a fixed asset will be recognized in the year of purchase. This will give a misleading view of the profitability of the entity. The observation may be explained by way of an example.
