Explanation:

Computation

Particulars                                                                 Amount

Sale Value of corrected product=                         $42,000.00

(2,000 * 21)

Less : Costs of Correction =                                   ($12,000.00)

(2000 * 6)

Less : Opportunity costs - Salvage Value Lost =  ($10,000.00)

(2,000 * 5)

Incremental Revenue=                                             $20,000.00
