Problem 13-27 (Algo) Sell or Process Further Decisions [LO13-7) Come Clean Corporation produces a variety of cleaning compounds and solutions for both industrial and household use. While most of its products are processed independently, a few are related, such as the company's Grit 337 and its Sparkle silver polish Grit 337 is a coarse cleaning powder with many industrial uses. It costs $1.20 a pound to make, and it has a selling price of $760 a pound. A small portion of the annual production of Grit 337 is retained in the factory for further processing. It is combined with several other Ingredients to form a paste that is marketed as Sparkle silver polish. The silver polish sells for $5.00 per jar.
