    Defective units = 16000

    Cost of manufacture = 92800

    When sold as scrap

    Revenue = 16000*3 = $48000

    Net income = $48000

    When reworked and sold

    Cost of rework = 4.7 * 16000 = 75200

    Revenue = 8.8*16000 = 140800

    Net income = 65,600

    It is better to rework and sell.

    Incremental income on reworking and selling is 17,600
