Sell or Process Further
Rise Nâ Shine Coffee Company produces Columbian coffee in batches of 6,000 pounds. The standard quantity of materials required in the process is 6,000 pounds, which cost $6 per pound. Columbian coffee can be sold without further processing for $8.4 per pound. Columbian coffee can also be processed further to yield Decaf Columbian, which can be sold for $10 per pound. The processing into Decaf Columbian requires additional processing costs of $8,950 per batch. The additional processing will also cause a 5% loss of product due to evaporation.
a. Prepare a differential analysis dated October 6 on whether to sell regular Columbian (Alternative 1) or process further into Decaf Columbian (Alternative 2).

The management of Dominican Sugar Company is considering whether to process further raw sugar into refined sugar. Refined sugar can be sold for $2.23 per pound, and raw sugar can be sold without further processing for $1.43 per pound. Raw sugar is produced in batches of 42,500 pounds by processing 100,000 pounds of sugar cane, which costs $0.36 per pound of cane. Refined sugar will require additional processing costs of $0.49 per pound of raw sugar, and 1.25 pounds of raw sugar will produce 1 pound of refined sugar.
