Spoiled goods and defective work

Girardi Inc. manufactures electrical equipment from specifications received from customers. Job X10 was for 1,000 motors to be used in a specially designed electrical complex. The following costs were determined for each motor:

Materials . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $117

Labor . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 100

Factory overhead . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 83

Total. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $300

At final inspection, Girardi discovered that 33 motors did not meet the exacting specifications established by the customer. An examination indicated that 18 motors were beyond repair and should be sold as spoiled goods for $75 each. The remaining 15 motors, though defective, could be reconditioned as firstquality units by the addition of $1,650 for materials, $1,500 for labor, and $1,200 for factory overhead.
