b· $51,690.
c· $17,900.
d· $43,900.
e· $11,900.

Answer 1

a. $39,790.

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the incremental income of processing further is shown below:

Sales - Deluxe - 11,900 Units × $31.10 $370,090

Sales - Super - 5,900 Units × $19.90 $117,410

Total Sales $487,500 (a)

Further Processing Costs $11,900

Sale Price of speciality Food $435,810

19,900 Units × $21.90

Total $447,710 (b)

Net Incremental Income $39,790 (a - b)

Hence, the correct option is a.
