Answer:

It is more profitable to continue processing the units. Income will increase by $10,560.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Number of units= 330

Sold as-is:

Selling price= $22

Continue processing:

Selling price= $95

Unitary variable cost= $41

We won't take into consideration the firsts production costs. They are equal in both options, therefore, they are irrelevant.

Sold as-is:

Effect on income= 330*22= $7,260 increase

Continue processing:

Effect on income= 330*(95 - 41)= $17,820

It is more profitable to continue processing the units. Income will increase by $10,560.
