b. $(1,100)
c. $29,800
d. $(40,200)

Answer 1

Answer:

($200)

Explanation:

Calculation to determine What would be the incremental effect on the company's overall profit of reworking and selling the material rather than selling it as scrap

Sales value of reworked material: $31,600

Less: Cost to rework material: $1,500

Net Sales Value: $30,100

Current Scrap Value: $30,300

Net Disadvantage: ($200)

($30,100-$30,300)

Therefore What would be the incremental effect on the company's overall profit of reworking and selling the material rather than selling it as scrap is ($200)
