APL manufactures athletic clothing, including shoes. Because of strict production specifications, the manufacturing department often has spoiled items. If the spoiled items are less than or equal to 5 percent of a job's total then the items are treated as normal spoilage. During March job #101 for 100 pairs of shoes had 7 spoiled items. The spoiled items were detected immediately before they were packaged. The marketing manager believes the spoiled items can be sold for $20 each. They had a cost at point of detection of $75 each. These costs included $25 for direct manufacturing labour, $45 for direct materials, and $5 for factory overhead.
