Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is D) None of these statement is relevant in the decision to further process the cream into butter.

Explanation:

option A)  the amount paid to the farmers to purchase the unprocessed milk: this information is not relevant to further develop the cream and low fat milk to butter. It was already considered before this stage of production.

Option B) the cost of breaking down the unprocessed milk into cream and low-fat milk: this cost was already accounted for since the processing into cream and low fat milk is completed.

Option C) the portion of corporate fixed expenses that are currently being allocated to cream: This information is not going to help in the decision making for further processing.
