Answer:
The company should not further process the product as it results in income reduction by $1000.
Explanation:
According to the given data, company current profit for 1000 units is :
= (cost of sell) - (cost of manufacturing)
= $7000 - $5000
= $2000 (current profit)
While when company further process the product, the profit will be :
= (cost of sell) - (cost of manufacture)
= $10000 - ( $5000 + $4000)
= $10000 - $9000
= $1000
It clearly shows that further processing the product may result in reduction of profit by $1000.
Hence the company should not further process the product.
