Columbian coffee can be sold without further processing for $9.33 per pound. Columbian coffee can also be processed further to yield Decaf Columbian, which can be sold for $11.66 per pound. The processing into Decaf Columbian requires additional processing costs of $9,170 per batch. The additional processing will also cause a 5% loss of product due to evaporation.
