    There are two alternatives

    1. Sold for $6,300

    The inventory parts should be sold for $6,300 as the current inventory parts are not relevant as it is a sunk cost i. e $18,500

    2. Repair and after that sale it

    Now in this case, we have to determine the benefit generated i. e come from

    = Sale value - repairing cost

    = $19,700 - $9,100

    = $10,600

    As we can see that the alternative 2 generated higher benefit as compare to the alternative 1 so it would be more beneficial for the company
