d. The annual financial advantage from processing Product Y further is $2.000

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct option is D,the annual financial advantage from processing Product Y further is $2.000

Explanation:

The decision of whether or not to further to process product Y is dependent upon the benefit that is derivable from further processing which is computed using the below formula:

benefit/(cost) of further processing=sales value after processing-cost of further processing-sales value at split-off point

sales value after processing is $68,000

additional cost of further processing is $16,000

sales value at split-off point is $50,000

benefit/(cost)=$68,000-$16,000-$50,000=$2,000
