AIP 10.4 Allocating the Cost of Scrap LO 6
ITI Technology designs and manufactures solid-state computer chips. In one of its
production departments, a 6-inch circular wafer is fabricated by laying down successive
layers of silicon and then etching circuits into the layers. Each wafer contains 100
separate solid-state computer chips. After a wafer is manufactured, the 100 chips are
cut out of the wafer, initially tested, mounted into protective covers and electrical leads
attached. A final quality control test is then performed.
The initial testing process consists of successive stages of heating and cooling the chips
and testing how they work. If 99 percent of each chip's circuits work properly after the
testing, it is classified as a high-density (HD) chip. If between 75 percent and 99 percent
of a chip's circuits work properly, it is classified as a low-density (LD) chip. If fewer
than 75 percent of the circuits work, it is discarded. Twenty wafers are manufactured
495
per batch. In…
