Verdich [7]3 years ago

<span> <span>In investment, the term risk can be defined as the possibility of the investor losing all or part of their capital in a given venture. High quality bonds are considered lower risk because the the investor is promised to receive face value after a certain period unlike stocks that do not carry the same promise. Returns on high quality bonds are also guaranteed in the form of fixed interest rates whereas in stocks, a company may pay dividends but this is not an obligation on their part. Lastly bonds are safer investment as they are less susceptible to abnormal price changes unlike stocks whose prices can easily swing in either direction.</span></span>

The Wyeth Corporation produces three products, A, B, and C, from a single raw material input. Product A can be sold at the split
Degger [83]

Answer:

It is preferable to further process Product A.

Explanation:

Product should be processed further before sale if the net incremental benefits from further processing is positive.

The net incremental benefits from further processing is increase in revenue when further processed less further costs of processing.

Increase in revenue=$58,000-$40,000

                                 =$18,000

Further processing costs=$15,000

Net incremental benefits=$18,000-$15,000

Net incremental benefits=$3,000

Since processing further brings a net benefit of $3,000, Product A should be further processed before being sold.
