Answer

I disagree. Rework costs are not always charged to the specific jobs where defects were found. They can be allocated to various accounts, including overhead, to distribute the costs more broadly across the production process. This approach is fairer and reflects the fact that rework often affects multiple parts of the process, not just the job where defects were initially discovered.
