Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

Particulars                   Sell     process further  

sales                       $450,000      $1,209,000  

Relevant cost    

Process further cost $0               $290,000

Less: Total relevant cost  $0      $290,000  

Income                     $450,000      $629,000

Incremental income                          $179,000

The $1,372,000 is come from

= 5,800 units × $105 + 12,000 units × $50

= $609,000 + $600,000

= $1,209,000

Hence, the company should process further
