It costs Camp, Inc. $48 per unit to manufacture 1,000 units per month of a product that it can sell for $75 each. Alternatively, Camp could process the units further into a more complex product, which would cost an additional $41 per unit. Camp could sell the more complex product for $110 each. How would processing the product further affect Camp's profit?
Solution:
For product having sale price of $75 per unit:
Manufacturing cost = $48*1000 units = $48000
Sales revenue = $75*1000 units = $75000
Therefore, Profit = $75000-$48000 = $27000
For product having sale price of $110 per unit:
Manufacturing Cost = ($48+$41)*1000 units = $89000
Sales revenue = $110*1000 units = $110000
Therefore, Profit = $110000-$89000 = $21000
Hence it is clear from the above calculation that processing the product further will decrease Camp's profit by $6000 ($27000-$21000).
