4) A chemical company sells liquid acid for $2.00 per litre. The production costs per 10,000 litres are:
Material $ 3,500
Direct labor $ 2,500
Overhead $ 5,000
Upon completion, the acid is poured into 1-litre containers and sent to the distribution centre. The cost of each container is $0.175 and transportation costs are $0.025 per litre.

If the company decides to continue processing, total production costs will increase by $8,000 per 10,000 litres of acid processed (resulting in 5,000 litres of cleaning fluid) over existing amounts. 1 litre of cleaning fluid can be sold for $4.20. The litre containers used to package the cleaning fluid cost $0.350 each and transportation costs are $0.050 per litre of cleaning fluid.
Should the company process further and sell cleaning fluid? a) Yes. Profit will increase by $7,000
b) Yes. Profit will increase by $1,000
c) No. Profit will decrease by $7,000
