Suppose That a Sawmill Processes Logs into Four

Figure 6-6
Suppose that a sawmill processes logs into four grades of lumber totaling 500,000 board feet as follows at a joint cost of £300,000: $$\begin{array} { l c c } \text { Grade } & \text { Board Feet } & \text { Final Sales Value } \\\text { First and second } & 75,000 & £ 56,250 \\\text { No. } 1 \text { common } & 200,000 & 180,000 \\\text { No. } 2 \text { common } & 100,000 & 105,000 \\\text { No. } 3 \text { common } & 125,000 & 127,500\end{array}$$
-Refer to Figure 6-6. No. 2 common can be cut into 2 * 4s. The final sales value will increase to £150,000. The cost of cutting No. 2 common is £15,000. Should the No. 2s be cut into 2 *4s?

A) Sell now.
B) Cut into 2 *4s; profits will increase £30,000.
C) Cut into 2 *4s; profits will increase £45,000.
D) Cut into 2 * 4s; profits will increase £150,000.
