Jack's then must decide whether to sell its rough logs (for use in log cabin construction) at split-off or to process them further into refined lumber (for use in regular construction framing). Jack's normally sells logs for a per-unit price of $500. Alternately, each log can be processed further into 800 board feet of lumber at an additional cost of $0.05 per board foot. Also, lumber can be sold for $0.75 per board foot. (Note: One tree is equal to one rough log.) Required: 1.
