Answer:

We will not hire a security guard.

Explanation:

Data provided

Merchandise stolen cost of every hour = $25

Hourly market wage for a security guard = $33

According to the given situation, The hourly loss is $25, and the hourly cost is $33, even if the shopkeeper keeps a security guard, then the cost per hour is $33, so the store loss increases by $33 - $25 = $8, so we will not hire the security guard to maximize the profit.

SVEN [57.7K]

Explanation:

Joint cost = 80,000

Orapine

cost of 5000 at 20 = 100,000

Incremental Cost of further processing =20,000

Incremental revenue = 5000* (25-20)= 25,000

Incremental income                                   5,000

Banango

cost of 10000 at 15 = 150,000

Incremental cost of further processing =  20,000

Incremental revenue = 10,000*(16-15) = 10,000

Incremental income = (10,000) loss

If  Orapine is processed further , there will be an incremental income of 5,000 compared to Banango that will bring an incremental loss of 10,00 if processed further.
