K Kyler Chemical has spent $238,000 to refine 73,000 gallons of acetone, which can be sold for $2.50 a gallon. Alternatively, Kyler Chemical can process the acetone further. This processing will yield a total of 59,000 gallons of lacquer thinner that can be sold for $3.40 a gallon. The additional processing will cost $0.70 per gallon of lacquer thinner. To sell the lacquer thinner, Kyler Chemical must pay shipping of $0.25 a gallon and administrative expenses of $0.14 a gallon on the thinner. Requirements 1. Identify the sunk cost is the sunk cost relevant to Kyler's decision? Why or why not? 2. Should Kyler sell the acetone as is or process it into lacquer thinner? Show the expected net revenue difference between the two alternatives. Requirement 1. Identify the sunk cost. Is the sunk cost relevant to Kyler's decision? Why or why not? The further.
