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. The ureters pass on the lateral abdominal wall and then enters the pelvis where it joins the urinary bladder, passing a short distance into it.
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.
In general, the depreciation basis of an asset is its cost minus its estimated salvage value. Cost isn't just the price tag on the asset.It's everything you had to spend to acquire the asset and put it into service. Consider a scenario in which you own a metal shop and need to replace a major piece of equipment.our depreciation basis is: $10,000 + $2,000 - $500 = $11,500. Divide the basis by the estimated life span, and you get $11,500 / 10 years = $1,150 per year.
