Two separate divisions


Marsden manufactures a cat food product called Special Export. Marsden currently has 10,000 bags of Special Export on hand. The variable production costs per bag are $2.30 and total fixed costs are $10,000. The cat food can be sold as it is for $9.55 per bag or be processed further into Prime Cat Food and Feline Surprise at an additional $2,500 cost. The additional processing will yield 10,000 bags of Prime Cat Food and 3,500 bags of Feline Surprise, which can be sold for $8.55 and $6.55 per bag, respectively. If Special Export is processed further into Prime Cat Food and Feline Surprise, the total gross profit would be:


  $82,925.

  $110,925.

  $72,925.

  $105,925.
