A.$30 manufacturing costB. $20 selling price of defective unitsC. $15 for reworkD. $50 regular selling priceE. all of these

Answer 1

The $30 Manufacturing cost (Sunk Cost)

Step-by-step explanation:

The manufacturing cost isn't relevant to the scenario as it's a sunk cost (historic cost) and has been incurred and can't be changed. Thus this cost should be disregarded when it comes to the relevant costing decision making. The selling price of defective units, the cost of the rework and the regular selling price is all relevant
