Accounting

Stinehelfer Beet Processors, Inc., processes sugar beets in batches. A batch of sugar beets costs $54 to buy from farmers and $16 to crush in the company's plant. Two intermediate products, beet fiber and beet juice, emerge from the crushing process. The beet fiber can be sold as is for $30 or processed further for $22 to make the end product industrial fiber that is sold for $42. The beet juice can be sold as is for $50 or processed further for $34 to make the end product refined sugar that is sold for $76. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company from processing the intermediate product beet juice into refined sugar rather than selling it as is?
