A food processing company produces 2,000 pounds of apple cores as a joint product from its pie-filling line. The cores can be sold as-is for ($0.20) per pound. They can be processed further into apple pectin for a total variable cost of ($500) and a total avoidable fixed cost of ($100). The further processing has a 10% yield loss, meaning for every 10 pounds of cores processed, 9 pounds of pectin are produced. Pectin sells for ($0.80) per pound. What is the net advantage or disadvantage of processing the apple cores into pectin?
