Question:
Chip Russell, Nevin’s newest employee, was assigned to Taffy’s job. He selected the appropriate letters, arranged the letters in each name carefully on a shirt, and heat-pressed them on. When Taffy returned, she was appalled to see that the names were on the front of the shirts. Jim Nevin, owner of the sporting goods store, assured Taffy that the letters could easily be removed by applying more heat and lifting them off. This process ruins the old letters, so new letters must then be placed correctly on the shirt backs. He promised to correct the job immediately and have it ready in an hour and a half.
Costs for heat-transferring are as follows:
Letters (each) ............ $0.15
Direct labor (per hour) ....... 8.00
Overhead (per direct labor hour) ... 4.00
Taffy’s job originally took one hour of direct labor time. The removal process goes more quickly and should take only 15 minutes.
Required:
1. What was the original cost of Taffy’s job?
2. What is the cost of rework on Taffy’s job? How should the rework cost be treated?
3. How much did Jim Nevin charge Taffy?
