Difference

Transcribed Image Text:Smith Petroleum has spent $204,000 to refine 64,000 gallons of petroleum distillate, which can be sold for $6.20 per gallon. Alternatively, Smith can process the distillate further and produce 53,000 gallons of cleaner fluid. The additional
processing will cost $1.80 per gallon of distillate. The cleaner fluid can be sold for $9.30 per gallon. To sell cleaner fluid, Smith must pay a sales commission of $0.10 per gallon and a transportation charge of $0.16 per gallon.
