Cassie's Quilts alters, reconstructs, and restores heirloom quilts. Cassie has just spent $800 purchasing, cleaning, and reconstructing an antique quilt which she expects to sell for $1,500 once she is finished. After having spent $800, Cassie discovers

What should she do? A) She should cut her losses and sell the quilt now. B) It does not matter what she does; she is going to take a loss on her project. C) She should purchase the period fabric, complete the task and then sell the quilt. D) She should not do any more work on the quilt because she has already spent too much time on it and has not been paid for that time.
