A company has already incurred an $81,000 cost in partially producing its three products.Their selling prices when partially and fully processed are shown in the table below with the additional costs necessary to finish their processing.Based on this information, should any products be processed further? $\begin{array} { | c | c | c | c | } \hline \text { Product } & \begin{array} { c } \text { Unfinished } \\\text { Selling Price }\end{array} & \begin{array} { c } \text { Finished } \\\text { Selling Price }\end{array} & \begin{array} { c } \text { Further } \\\text { Processing } \\\text { Costs }\end{array} \\\hline \text { A } & \$ 43.20 & \$ 81.10 & \$ 29.74 \\\hline \text { B } & \$ 51.16 & \$ 85.73 & \$ 36.61 \\\hline \text { C } & \$ 70.50 & \$ 97.22 & \$ 23.32 \\\hline\end{array}$

Teague Plumbing has received a special one-time order for 1,500 toilets (units) at $75 per unit. Teague currently produces and sells 7,500 units at $100 each. This level represents 75% of its capacity. Production costs for these units are $75 per unit, which includes $70 variable cost and $5 fixed cost. To produce the special order, shipping costs of $10,000 will be incurred. Management expects no other changes in costs as a result of the additional production. -Should the company accept the special order? A.No, because additional production would exceed capacity. B.No, because incremental costs exceed incremental revenue. C.Yes, because incremental revenue exceeds incremental costs. D.Yes, because incremental costs exceed incremental revenues. E.No, because the incremental revenue is too low.

What is the overall decision rule management should apply when considering a segment for elimination?

A company has already incurred a $55,000 cost in partially producing its three products.Their selling prices when partially and fully processed are shown in the following table with the additional costs necessary to finish their processing.Based on this information, should any products be processed further? $\begin{array} { | c | c | c | c | } \hline \text { Product } & \begin{array} { c } \text { Unfinished } \\\text { Selling Price }\end{array} & \begin{array} { c } \text { Finished } \\\text { Selling Price }\end{array} & \begin{array} { c } \text { Further } \\\text { Processing } \\\text { Costs }\end{array} \\\hline \text { A } & \$ 72 & \$ 108 & \mathbf { \$ 5 } \\\hline \text { B } & 83 & 124 & 42 \\\hline \text { C } & 94 & 141 & 45 \\\hline\end{array}$
