Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To determine whether to sell at the split-off point or process further, compare the additional revenue from processing to the additional costs. For Chem I, additional revenue is $27,800 ($87,400 - $59,600) which is greater than the cost of $7,300, so process further. For Chem II, additional revenue is $11,900 ($82,600 - $70,700) which is less than the cost of $17,500, so sell at split-off. For Chem III, additional revenue is $8,800 ($55,500 - $46,700) which is greater than the cost of $6,200, so process further. Total revenue is $87,400 (Chem I) + $70,700 (Chem II) + $55,500 (Chem III) = $213,600. However, the correct total revenue should be $200,600, indicating a calculation error in the options provided.
