Explanation:

Amount in $

Number of defective units (a) 2,900.00

Cost of production per unit (b) 14.90

Total cost of production (c = a x b) 43,210.00

Proceed from sale of defective product per unit (d) 5.90

Sale of defective product (e = d x a) 17,110.00

Additional cost for correction of defect (f) 5.10

Cost for correction of defect (g = f x a) 14,790.00

Selling price per unit after correction of defect (h) 22.80

Sales after correction of defect (i = h x a) 66,120.00

Incremental Income from sale (j = i - g - e) 34,220.00
