Sell or Process Further

Rise N Shine Coffee Company produces Columbian coffee in batches of 5,400 pounds. The standard quantity of materials required in the process is 5,400 pounds, which cost $6 per pound. Columbian coffee can be sold without further processing for $8.4 per pound. Columbian coffee can also be processed further to yield Decaf Columbian, which can be sold for $10 per pound. The processing into Decaf Columbian requires additional processing costs of $8,750 per batch. The additional processing will also cause a 4% loss of product due to evaporation.
