    C. Sell now, the company will be better off by $16,000.

    Explanation:

    If the company sells product A now, it will get:

    24,000*$8 = $192,000

    If the company process product A further, it will get:

    24,000*$14 = $336,000-160,000 = $176,000

    So, according to this, if the company sells product A now, it will receive $192,000 and if it processes the product, the gain will be of $176,000. Because of this, it should sell now as the company will be better off by $16,000.
