    Answer: $67,600 and $2600

    Explanation:

    Total unit = 13,000

    Defective unit cost = $5.20

    Resale price = $3.00

    Reworked = $5.00

    Full price = $8.20

    Opportunity cost

    = Full price - replacement unit

    = 8.20 - 5.20

    = 3.00

    =. Cost of reselling

    = 13,000 * 3.00

    = $39,000

    1. Cost of defective units

    = 13,000 * 5.20

    = $67,600

    2. Cost of reworked

    = $5.00 * 13,000

    = $65,000

    3. Full price

    = 13,000 * $8.20

    = $106,600

    B. Incremental income of selling the unit as scrap and reworked

    Scarp = $67, 600

    Reworked = $ (106600 - 39, 000 - 65,000)

    = $2600
