Identify and briefly discuss ONE (1) qualitative factor Henriettas should consider before deciding whether to sell or process further the egg whites.

On the basis of financial considerations alone, determine and briefly explain whether Henriettas should sell or process further the egg whites. Provide supporting calculations.

Sell or Process Further Henrietta's buys eggs from local growers, using the eggs yolks to manufacture egg noodles and the egg whites to bake pavlovas. Egg noodles are sold for $10.50 per kilogram and pavlovas for $13.50 per kilogram. A local baker has offered to buy the egg whites for $5.50 per kilogram. Joint costs of manufacturing noodles and pavlovas are $260,000 per year, which yield 250,000 kilograms of noodles and 186,000 kilograms of pavlovas. One kilogram of eggs can be made into three kilograms of pavlovas, at a manufacturing cost of $11.20 per kilogram of pavlova. If the egg whites are sold, selling and delivery costs of $0.80 will be incurred per kilogram of egg white. If the pavlovas are sold, selling and delivery costs of $0.80 will be incurred per kilogram of pavlova
