Barnes manufactures a specialty food product that can currently be sold for $22 per unit and has 20,000 units on hand. Alternatively, it can be further processed for $12,000 and converted into 12,000 units of Exceptional and 6,000 units of Premium. The selling price of Exceptional and Premium are $30 and $20, respectively.

We don't have the information regarding the costs of processing further. Therefore, we will base our analysis in sales.

Sell now= 22*20,000= $440,000

Continue processing= 12,000*30 + 6,000*20= $480,000

It is more convenient to continue processing.
