Answer 1

Answer:

Stage 1 value added $1,800

Stage 2 value added $2,200

Stage 3 value added $4,200

Stage 4 value added $4,300

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the value added at each stage

Stage 1 value added = $1,800

Stage 2 value added =$4,000 – $1,800

Stage 2 value added=$2,200

Stage 3 value added = $8,200 – $4,000

Stage 3 value added = $4,200

Stage 4 value added =$12,500 – $8,200

Stage 4 value added =$4,300

Therefore the value added at each stage are:

Stage 1 value added $1,800

Stage 2 value added $2,200

Stage 3 value added $4,200

Stage 4 value added $4,300
