The company should process the units further.

Explanation:

Base on the scenario been described in the question, we can be able to use the method to prepare an analysis that shows whether the 28,000 units of Product A should be processed further or not.

Sell as is Process

further

Sale as is (28,000 units x $25.00) $700,000

Process further (5,600 units x $105) + (11,200 x $70) $1,372,000

Cost to process further (420,000)

Incremental income (loss) $700,000 $952,000

The company should process the units further
