Answer:
(i) $4,000,000
(ii) $3,840,000
Explanation:
(i) Contribution to income from selling the logs for log cabin construction:
= Large trees receive each period × per-unit price of logs
= 8,000 × $500
= $4,000,000
(ii) Contribution to income from processing the logs into lumber:
= Large trees receive each period × each log can be processed (feet) × (Selling price of lumber per board foot - Additional cost per board foot)
= 8,000 × 800 × (0.75 - 0.15)
= $3,840,000
(iii) Jack's continue to sell the logs only, because income from processing it as lumber is lower than log.
