Signal mistakenly produced 1,075 defective cell phones. The phones cost $70 each to produce. A salvage company will buy the defective phones as they are for $39 each. It would cost Signal $82 per phone to rework the phones. If the phones are reworked, Signal could sell them for $146 each. Signal has excess capacity. Should Signal scrap or rework the phones

Answer: Rework the phones

Explanation:

The phones have already been produced so the cost price of $70 does not matter as it is a sunk cost.

The decision the company makes between scrap and reworking will depend on which option bring in more money.

Scrap = $39

Reworking:

= Price after reworking - Cost to rework

= 146 - 82

= $64

Incremental income of reworking over scrap:

= 1,075 * (64 - 39)

= $‭26,875‬

Signal makes an incremental income of $‭26,875‬ if they rework the phones so they should do that.
