Answer:

$21,000

Explanation:

initial investment $25,000

we need to determine the expected value of every possibility:

  • $15,000 loss ⇒ 20% x $10,000 = $2,000
  • $29,000 loss ⇒ 15% x $5,000 = $750
  • $40,000 gain ⇒ 5% x $65,000 = $3,250
  • break even ⇒ 60% x $25,000 = $15,000

total expected value = $21,000

Degger [83]

Product should be processed further before sale if the net incremental benefits from further processing is positive.

The net incremental benefits from further processing is increase in revenue when further processed less further costs of processing.

Increase in revenue=$58,000-$40,000

                                 =$18,000

Further processing costs=$15,000

Net incremental benefits=$18,000-$15,000

Net incremental benefits=$3,000

Since processing further brings a net benefit of $3,000, Product A should be further processed before being sold.
