Noble Chemical has spent $240,000 to refine 71,000 gallons of acetone, which can be sold for $2.30 a gallon. Alternatively, Noble Chemical can process the acetone further. This processing will yield a total of 59,000 gallons of lacquer thinner that can be sold for $3.20 a gallon. The additional processing will cost $0.85 per gallon of lacquer thinner. To sell the lacquer thinner, Noble Chemical must pay shipping of $0.24 a gallon and administrative expenses of $0.12 a gallon on the thinner. Requirements 1. Identify the sunk cost.
