34) Boney Corporation processes sugar beets that it purchases from farmers. Sugar beets are processed in batches. A batch of sugar beets costs $60 to buy from farmers and $19 to crush in the company's plant. Two intermediate products, beet fiber and beet juice, emerge from the crushing process. The beet fiber can be sold as is for $30 or processed further for $29 to make the end product industrial fiber that is sold for $77. The beet juice can be sold as is for $51 or processed further for $33 to make the end product refined sugar that is sold for $77. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company from processing one batch of sugar beets into the end products industrial fiber and refined sugar rather than not processing that batch at all?

Lance Inc., processes sugar cane that it purchases from farmers. Sugar cane is processed in batches. A batch of sugar cane costs P60 to buy from farmers and P13 to crush in the company's plant. Two intermediate products, cane fiber and cane juice, emerge from the crushing process. The cane fiber can be sold as is for P29 or processed further for P13 to make the end product industrial fiber that is sold for P61. The cane juice can be sold as is for P40 or processed further for P20 to make the end product molasses that is sold for P67.1. How much profit (loss) does the company make by processing the intermediate product cane juice into molasses rather than selling it as is?
