The management of Dominican Sugar Company is considering whether to process further raw sugar into refined sugar. Refined sugar can be sold for $2.24 per pound, and raw sugar can be sold without further processing for $1.25 per pound. Raw sugar is produced in batches of 34,800 pounds by processing 87,000 pounds of sugar cane, which costs $0.31 per pound of cane. Refined sugar will require additional processing costs of $0.47 per pound of raw sugar, and 1.20 pounds of raw sugar will produce 1 pound of refined sugar. Required: Question Content Area 1. Prepare a differential analysis as of March 24 to determine whether to sell raw sugar (Alternative 1) or process further into refined sugar (Alternative 2).
