    The company should not further process the product as it results in income reduction by $1000.

    Explanation:

    According to the given data, company current profit for 1000 units is:

    = (cost of sell) - (cost of manufacturing)

    = $7000 - $5000

    = $2000 (current profit)

    While when company further process the product, the profit will be:

    = (cost of sell) - (cost of manufacture)

    = $10000 - ($5000 + $4000)

    = $10000 - $9000

    = $1000

    It clearly shows that further processing the product may result in reduction of profit by $1000.

    Hence the company should not further process the product.
