Cost of quality During its first year of operations, Ridenour Company produced 39,800 electronic tablets. Of total production, 1,000 were found defective by quality appraisers. Six hundred of the defective units were reworked and sold through regular channels at the original price; the rest were sold as seconds without rework. (The uncorrected defect did not pose a hazard to customers.) The electronic tablets are sold with a two-year warranty; seconds have a six-month warranty. Ridenour Company spent $450,000 for prevention measures and $196,000 on appraisal. Following is the firm's income statement, which appropriately does not reflect any income taxes:
