Question

The management of City Front Inc. must decide between scrapping or reworking units that do not pass inspection. The company has 11,000 defective units that cost $6.00 per unit to manufacture. The units can be sold as is for $2.50 each or they can be reworked for $3.50 each and then sold for the full price of $9.70 each. What is the incremental income from reworking and selling the units

Answer 1

If the units are reworked, income will increase by $40,700.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Number of units= 11,000

Sell as-is:

Selling price= $2.5

Rework:

Selling price= $9.7

Increase in costs= $3.5

We will take into account the incremental costs, the first production costs are equal to both options.

Sell as-is:

Effect on income= 11,000*2.5= $27,500 increase

Rework:

Effect on income= 11,000*(9.7 - 3.5)

Effect on income= $68,200 increase

If the units are reworked, income will increase by $40,700.
