Assuming That the MR Corporation Has an Inventory of 200

question 2

True/False

Assuming that the MR Corporation has an inventory of 200 defective motors costing $450,000 to produce and $150,000 to repair, if the company receives an offer to purchase these motors for $100,000, the company's decision should be to sell the motors at the offered price.
The $450,000 production costs are sunk costs and therefore irrelevant to the decision. The relevant costs are the repair costs of $150,000 compared to the offer to purchase for $100,000. Since the offer is less than the repair costs, the decision should be not to sell the motors at the offered price.
