Answer

Product A additional CM = $               14,000
Product A additional cost = $               13,000
Product A Advantage/Disadvantage = $                  1,000 Advantage
Product A sell or process further = Process Further
Product B additional CM = $               15,000
Product B additional cost = $               80,000
Product B Advantage/Disadvantage = $              (65,000) Disadvantage
Product B sell or process further = Sell
Product C additional CM = $               54,000
Product C additional cost = $               63,000
Product C Advantage/Disadvantage = $                (9,000) Disadvantage
Product C sell or process further = Sell

Calculations:

(Amount in $)
Product A additional CM = =(20-6)*1,000
Product A additional cost = 1,3000
Product A Advantage/Disadvantage = =14,000-13,000 Advantage
Product A sell or process further = Process Further
Product B additional CM = =(13-8)*3,000
Product B additional cost = 80,000
Product B Advantage/Disadvantage = =15,000-80,000 Disadvantage
Product B sell or process further = Sell
Product C additional CM = =(32-5)*2,000
