Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of value-added activities: These are activities that increase the worth of a product or service to customers. In accounting, value-added activities are those that directly contribute to meeting customer needs or enhancing the product/service.

Analyze each option provided in the problem: Determine whether each activity adds value to the product or service from the customer's perspective.

Option 1 - Reworking defective products: This activity does not add value because it is correcting errors rather than enhancing the product or service for the customer.

Option 2 - Storing raw materials in a warehouse: This is a non-value-added activity as it does not directly contribute to the product or service's value; it is merely a logistical necessity.

Option 3 - Inspecting finished goods for defects: While important for quality control, this activity is considered non-value-added because it does not directly enhance the product or service for the customer. Processing customer orders, however, is a value-added activity because it directly fulfills customer needs and contributes to the delivery of the product or service.
