EASY:
Magnolia Company produces a product that can either be sold as is or processed further. Magnolia has already spent $72,000 to produce 1,800 units that can be sold now for $93,500 to another manufacturer. Alternatively, Magnolia can process the units further at an incremental cost of $260 per unit. If Magnolia processes further, the units can be sold for $490 each. Compute the incremental income if Magnolia processes further. If a cell does not require an answer, leave it blank.

INcremental cost of processing further = 1800*$260 = $468000
Incremental revenue from sales = 1800*$490 - $93500 = $788500
Incremental contribution from processing further = $320500
Since the incremental contribution of processing further is more/positive, it is recommended to process further
