Sunk costs VS Opportunity costs
Iridium Corp. has spent $3.5 billion over the past decade developing a satellite based telecommunication system.

A competitor has offered $450 million for the satellites already in orbit. Classify the firm's outlays as sunk costs or opportunity costs, and specify the relevant cash flows.
