Heather Booth · Answer 1

Company should be processed further of product A.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:-

Particular Sales Amount Further Process

Sales $4,70,000 $11,28,400

For Further process additional cost $2,80,000

Income/Loss $4,70,000 $8,48,400

Further Processed Total Additional Sales = Sale Units of Product B * Price Per Unit of Product B + Sale Units of Product C * Price Per Unit of Product C

= (5200 * $104) + (11,300 * $52)

= $540,800 + $587,600 = $1,128,400

If Processed Further Incremental Net Income = Income - Sales

= $848,400 - $470,000

= $378,400.

According to the Analysis, Company should be processed further of product A.
