12. Decision Making

Oops All Almonds harvested 2,000,000 lbs. of almonds this season. The company can sell the almonds raw for \$2.00 per pound, generating \$4,000,000 in revenue, or process them into almond butter, yielding 800,000 jars that sell for \$8.00 each, generating \$6,400,000 in revenue. Processing the almonds further would cost an additional \$1,900,000. What is the net benefit to operating income of processing the almonds further instead of selling them as-is?
