Runner Carpet produced $1,138$ yards of its economy$-$grade carpet. In the coloring process, there was a pigment defect, and the

resulting color appeared to be faded. The carpet normally sells for $$17$ per yard: $$7$ of variable cost per yard and $$7$ of fixed cost per

yard have been assigned to the carpet.

The company realizes that it cannot sell the carpet for $$17$ per yard through its normal channels, unless the coloring process is

repeated. The incremental cost of the process is $$3$ per yard. However, Practical Home Solutions is willing to buy the carpet in its

current faded condition for $$8$ per yard.

Should Runner repeat the coloring process or sell the carpet to Practical Home Solutions?
