E8-51B. Sell as is or process further (Learning Objective 7)

plain yogurt to hospitals, nursing homes, and restaurants in bulk, one-
gallon containers. Each batch, processed at a cost of $830, yields 750
gallons of plain yogurt. OrganicPlus sells the one-gallon tubs for $6.00
each and spends $0.10 for each plastic tub. Management has recently
begun to reconsider its strategy. OrganicPlus wonders if it would be

Packaging would cost $0.07 per portion, and fruit would cost $0.12 per
portion. Fixed costs would not change. Should OrganicPlus continue to
sell only the…
