Giving the following information:

Pine Street Inc. makes unfinished bookcases that it sells for $62. Production costs are $36 variable and $10 fixed. Because it has unused capacity, Pine Street is considering finishing the bookcases and selling them for $70. Variable finishing costs are expected to be $6 per unit with no increase in fixed costs.

Unfinished bookcases profit = 62 - 36 - 10 = $16

Finished bookcases profit = 70 - 46 - 6 = $18

They should continue production to finished bookcases.
