EAD $($Pty$)$ Ltd is a company that manufactures heavy$-$duty, high$-$quality printers used

by printing companies. EAD $($Pty$)$ Ltd has a $30$ June year$-$end.

EAD $($Pty$)$ Ltd makes use of a perpetual inventory recording system and the first$-$infirst$-$out $($FIFO$)$ costing formula to account for their inventory items.

CDC$500$ Printer: The control panel used in the CDC$500$ printer is imported from China, but due to a supply shortage, EAD $($Pty$)$ Ltd had to make use of a local supplier to source $40$ control panels required for the manufacturing of CDC$500$ printers during May $2024$ and June $2024.$The selling price of the CDC$500$ printer was fixed at R$460000$ each for the period January $2024$ to July $2024$ and EAD $($Pty$)$ Ltd spent an average of R$2000$ per CDC$500$

printer to transport it to a customer. The total manufacturing cost per CDC$500$ printer

is R$400000.$ By $30$ June $2024,$ all $40$ control panels had been used in the CDC$500$ printer manufacturing process. $25$ of the CDC$500$ printers featuring the control panel from the local supplier had been sold, and the rest were all included in finished goods. No CDC$500$ printer featuring the control panel from the local supplier was incomplete and included in the work$-$in$-$progress on $30$ June $2024.$

During July $2024,$ many of the CDC$500$ printers sold between May $2024$ to July $2024$

were returned due to the control panel malfunctioning. The customers complained that the control panel became unresponsive, leading them to not be able to use the printer as they were not able to select the required function on the control panel.

Due to multiple complaints received, EAD $($Pty$)$ Ltd decided to cancel the use of the

control panel from the local supplier and replace the control panel on the CDC$500$

printer models that are not yet sold.

The costs to replace the control panels were as follows:

$$ Material of R$60000$ per CDC$500$ printer.

$$ Labour of R$7000$ per CDC$500$ printer.
