Answer:

It is more profitable to continue to rework the phones and sell them.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Signal mistakenly produced 1,000 defective cell phones.

<u>The $65 per phone is a sunk cost. It will remain on both decisions, therefore, we will not take into account to make the decision.</u>

Sell as it is:

Income= 33*1,000= $33,000

Rework:

Costs= 88*1,000= $88,000

Sales= 144*1,000= $144,000

Total gain= $56,000

It is more profitable to continue to rework the phones and sell them.
