    It should process further as increases the contribution of the firm by 10 dollars

    Explanation:

    rough-cut board:

    sales price: 440

    unit cost: (315)

    contribution 115

    finished-cut board:

    sales price 600

    cost (465)

    contribution 135

    difficerential analysis:

    600 - 440 = 160 increase in sales

    465 - 315 = 150 increase in cost

    10 increase in contribution
