Sunland Company is unsure of whether to sell its product assembled or unassembled. The unit cost of the unassembled product is $24 and Sunland would sell it for $62. The cost to assemble the product is estimated at $26 per unit and the company believes the market would support a price of $87 on the assembled unit. What decision should Sunland make

Sagot :

Answer: Sell before assembly, the company will be better off by $1 per unit.

Explanation:

To solve the above question, we need to calculate the incremental profit or loss first. This will be:

= After assembling sales value - Unassembled unit sales value - Coat if further processing

= $87 - $62 - $26

= -$1

Since there is an incremental loss of $1, then the correct answer is "Sell before assembly, the company will be better off by $1 per unit".
