The best answer is D
A - sometimes, in questions like these, the examiner discusses the building/land cost. But they say they could sell it / lease it at X amount today. That sale would be an "opporunity cost" - and it would be counted.
B - Just the oppoisite of what I said about A. If the equipment could have generated $200k, than that is an opportunity cost and it is relevant.
C - These costs would form part of the fixed costs. That is necessary when calculating the sale price, and also eventually tax to be paid.
D - The building was renovated 2 years ago. Therefore it is NOT a cost that was caused by deciding to go ahead with the project. It is a sunk cost, and therefore not relevant to this project.
