a. Prepare a differential analysis report for the decision to sell or process further.
b. Should Bozeman Coffee sell Columbian coffee or process further and sell Decaf Columbian?
c. Determine the price of Decaf Columbian that would cause neither an advantage nor a disadvantage for processing further and selling Decaf Columbian. Round to nearest cent.
