Answer:
c. $3,600
Explanation:
The total cost of orange juice = $30,400 + $13,000
The total cost of orange juice = $43,400
So, the profit on the orange juice = $53,000 - $43,400 = $9,600
Profit when oranges are sold without juice = $36,400 - $30,400
Profit when oranges are sold without juice = $6,000
So, extra income = $$9,600 - $6,000 = $3,600
Thus, the net benefit (additional income) from processing the oranges into orange juice instead of selling as is would be is $3,600
