Question:
Farina Foods manufactures a dog food product called Special Scoops. Farina currently has 20,000 bags of Special Scoops in inventory. The variable production costs per bag are $1.50 and total fixed costs are $20,000 per period. The dog food can be sold as is for $7 per bag, or it can be processed further into Prime Scoops and Canine Sports at an additional processing cost of $3,000. This additional processing will yield 15,000 bags of Prime Scoops, which can be sold for $8 per bag, and 10,000 bags of Canine Sports, which can be sold for $6 per bag. Should Farina process the Special Scoops further to Prime Scoops and Canine Sports? Why or why not? Show your work?
