Jensen Manufacturing Company makes a partially completed assembly unit that it sells for \($36\) per unit. Normally, 42,000 units are sold each year. Variable unit cost data on the assembly are as follows:

The company is now using only 70% of its normal capacity; it could fully use its normal capacity by processing the assembly further and selling it for \($43\) per unit. If the company does this, material and labor costs will each increase by \($2\) per unit and variable overhead will go up by \($1\) per unit. Fixed costs will increase from the current level of \($160,000\) to \($220,000\). Prepare an analysis showing whether Jensen should process the assemblies further.
