Answer:

It is more profitable to sell te products as-is.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sell as-is:

Selling price= $31

Continue processing:

Selling price= $35

Unitary incremental cost= $8

Units= 6,100

The firsts $5,200 is a sunk cost, this means that the cost will remain the same in both options. It is irrelevant to the decision-making process.

Sell as-is:

Effect on income= 6,100*31= $189,100

Continue processing:

Effect on income= 6,100*(35-8)= $164,700

It is more profitable to sell te products as-is.
