Answer:

Financial disadvantage from further processing = $(9)

Explanation:

<em>A company should process further a product if the additional revenue from the split-off point is greater than than the further processing cost.  </em>

<em>Also note that all cost incurred up to the split-off point (the cost of crushing) are irrelevant to the decision to process further .  </em>

                                                                                                  $

Sales revenue after crushing                                                55                          

Sales revenue at the split-off point                                        <u>81</u>

Additional sales revenue                                                       26

Further processing cost                                                        <u> (35)</u>

Net income after further processing                                     <u> (9) </u>

Financial disadvantage from further processing = $(9)

<em>Kindly note that the allocated joint costs( cost of sugar and crushing) are irrelevant. This implies that whether or not the intermediate products are processed further the joint costs are irrelevant to the decision to process the beet juice further</em>.

The statement, "You are more likely to control risks when they are identified earlier rather than later" is associated with the Risk Control Management principle.

Risk control is more effective when risk identification is undertaken early enough so that control measures are put in place to mitigate such risks, otherwise there will be a shift from 'risk control' to 'damage control' once any of those risks materializes.

velikii [3]

Answer:

Option a and b

Option C                

Explanation:

B. In simple words, due to printing of new currency the supply of money ion the  market would increase which will lead to inflation in the economy which will further lead to loss in value of the existing money in hand on the individuals.
