Answer:

b. 16% defectives

Explanation:

Let the number of units shipped be N

Let the defect rate be y%

Cost of replacing defectives once shipped = (y/100)×N× 2.5  ........equation (1)

Cost of 100% inspection = N × 0.4 .........equation (2)

At the indifference point, both costs, that is the replacement cost and inspection cost are equal. Therefore, we make both equations (1) and (2) equal.

N × 0.4 = (y/100)×N× 2.5

100 × 0.4 = y ×2.5

y = 40/2.5 = 16

She is indifferent at 16% defectives
