    It is more profitable to sell the units as-is. Income will increase by $400 per unit.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    The hulls are sold to boatyards for $5,000.

    Additional process = $1,400

    The completed sailboats could then be sold for $6,000 each.

    We will only take into account the incremental costs.

    Sell as-is:

    Effect on income = $5,000 increase

    Additional process:

    Effect on income = 6,000 - 1,400 = $4,600 increase

    It is more profitable to sell the units as-is. Income will increase by $400 per unit.
