Answer: If Product J19 is processed further into Product R33, the company would make $1 less than if Product J19 was sold as is.
Explanation:
Alternative 1 - Product J19
We are given the following for Alternative 1
Sales Price = $18
Cost = $11
Therefore the income from Alternative 1 is,
= 18 - 11
=$7
Alternative 2 - Product R33.
We are given the following,
Sales Price = $24
Cost = $11 of the original + $7 additional cost
= $18
Thus income is,
= 24 - 18
= $6
The income from Alternative 1 is $7 while the income from Alternative 2 is $6.
This means that if Product J19 is processed further into Product R33 and sold, the company would make $1 less than if Product J19 was sold as is.
