Answer 1

Answer:

Incremental income from further processing   $534,900  

The company should process further

Explanation:

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

Also note that all cost incurred up to the split-off point are irrelevant to the decision to process further .  

                                                                                                 $

Revenue after split-off point

(104×5400) + (53× 11,100)                                                   1,149,900

Revenue at the slit of  point                  

(25,000× $15)                                                                       (375,000 )

Additional income from further processing                        774,900

Further processing cost                                                     (240,000)

Incremental income from further processing                     534,900  

Incremental income from further processing                   $534,900  

The company should process further
