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.

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

d. $7,000.

= $7,000

If we consider the building and the patent we see that the estimated cash flows are  more than the book value, so no loss on impairment should be taken place

Therefore, only $7,000 should be recorded as a loss on impairment of the asset
