$1$ $$30\mathrm{.}0093\%97\%$ $$2,000$

$2$ $$20\mathrm{.}0091\%96\%$ $$4,000$This process has only two tasks. Units are inspected after each task and scrapped if defective. Table $2$ below shows the variable cost at each task and each task's current yield, as well as how much the yield could be improved to and at what cost.

The product is sold for $$100.$ If you start out with enough labor and material at Task $1$ to produce $1000$ units if the yield is $100\%,$ how much would the contribution be after investing in the improvement, for each option? Assume you will invest in the imWhat is the process yield for the current process?
