It is more convenient to continue processing. Incremental income = 27,000 + 6,500 = $33,500

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Ahngram Corp. has 1,000 cartons of oranges that cost $50 per carton in direct costs and $26.50 per carton in indirect costs and sold for $70 per carton. The oranges can be processed further into orange juice at an additional cost of $22.50 and sold for $126.

To determine whether it is more convenient to sell the cartons as it is or continue processing, we need to calculate the effect on income:

Sell now:

Income = 1,000 * (70 - 50 - 26.5) = - $6,500

Continue processing:

We will assume that from 1,000 cartons you can produce 1,000 lt.

Income = 1,000 * (126 - 76.5 - 22.5) = $27,000

It is more convenient to continue processing.
