Identify the correct option for the given statement.
Answer to Problem 1MCQ
a. Correct the defective item and sell them at the regular price.
Explanation of Solution
Incremental revenue:
Incremental revenue refers to the difference in the total revenue earned when the product or service is sold at split-off point and the total revenue earned when the product or service is sold after further processing.
In this case, a company accidently produced 3000 defective items (MP3 Player). These 3000 defective items are offered at a rate of $8 per item by a recycler, and on the other hand these detective items can be fixed at a rate of $10 and could be sold at a regular market price of $19 per item.
The company by reworking those defective items can produce incremental revenue of $11 per unit
From the above explanation it is clear that option b, c and d are incorrect and only option a is correct.
Hence the correct option is option a.
