Decision on further processing

RRenata6y ago
If a product can be sold at the split-off point for 200k and apportion 240k of the joint cost to it, we would make 40k loss. But if the same product would be further processed for a cost of 800k and then sold for 980k, the result would be 20k loss (change in revenue +780k less additional costs of 800k) So, should we further process it to reduce loss?

No you will not do further processing - it will not reduce the loss. It would increase the loss by 20K.
