Come$-$Clean Corporation produces a variety of cleaning compounds including Grit $337$ and Sparkle silver polish. Grit $337$ is a coarse

cleaning powder that costs $$1\mathrm{.}20$ a pound to make and sells for $$7\mathrm{.}20$ a pound. A small portion of Grit $337$ is combined with several

other ingredients and further processed into Sparkle silver polish. The silver polish sells for $$5\mathrm{.}00$ per jar.

This further processing requires one$-$fourth pound of Grit $337$ per jar of silver polish. The additional variable manufacturing costs per

jar of silver polish are:

Overhead costs associated with processing the silver polish are:

The production supervisor has no duties other than overseeing production of the silver polish. The mixing equipment is special$-$

purpose equipment acquired specifically to produce the silver polish. It can produce up to $6,000$ jars of polish per month. Its resale

value is negligible and it does not wear out through use.

Advertising costs for the silver polish total $$2,800$ per month. Variable selling costs for the silver polish are $5\%$ of sales.

Due to a decline in the demand for silver polish, the company is considering selling all of its Grit $337$ for $$7\mathrm{.}20$ per pound and

discontinuing Sparkle silver polish.
