Which of the following classifications of these items would be accurate?
◦ the defective boots are spoilage and the leather and the rubber are scrap
◦ the defective boots, leather and rubber are scrap but the shoes are more valuable scrap as they can be sold
◦ the defective boots are spoilage , the leather strips are scrap, and the rubber is rework
◦ all three items are spoilage
