A company has a process that results in 26000 pounds of Product A that can be sold for $8 per pound. An alternative would be to process Product A further at a cost of $174200 and then sell it for $14 per pound. Should management sell Product A now or should Product A be processed further and then sold? What is the effect of the action? Sell now, the company will be better off by $18200. Process further, the company will be better off by $156000. Process further, the company will be better off by $18200. Sell now, the company will be better off by $174200.

    Explanation:

    The computation is shown below:

    Sales value after processing the product (26,000 * $14) $364,000

    Less: sales value (26,000 * $8) $208,000

    Increase in advantage due to processing $156,000

    Less: processing cost ($174,200)

    Net disadvantage of processing the product ($18,200)

    As we can see the final answer comes in negative which means the product should be sold now
