A company has a process that results in 14000 pounds of Product A that can be sold for $8 per pound. An alternative would be to process Product A further at a cost of $93800 and then sell it for $14 per pound. Should management sell Product A now or should Product A be processed further and then sold? What is the effect of the action? Sell now, the company will be better off by $9800. Process further, the company will be better off by $84000. Process further, the company will be better off by $9800. Sell now, the company will be better off by $93800

To be profitable, a firm must recover its costs. These costs include both its fixed and its variable costs. One way that a firm evaluates at what stage it would recover the invested costs is to calculate how many units or how much in dollar sales is necessary for the firm to earn a profit.

The product will be sold for $37.50 per unit, and will incur a variable cost of $11.25 per unit. Given Blue Mouse’s cost structure, it will have to sell units to break even on this project (QBEQBE).
