It is more convenient to rework.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Wenig Inc. has some material that originally cost $73,500. The material has a scrap value of $45,600 as is, but if reworked for $6,600, it could be sold for $58,100.

We need to calculate the effect on income of the two options:

Sell now:

Income = 45,600 - 73,500 = - $27,900

Rework:

Income = 58,100 - 6,600 - 73,500 = - $22,000

It is more convenient to rework.
