(Prepared from a situation suggested by Professor John W. Hardy.) Lone Star Meat Packers is a major processor of beef and other meat products. The company has a large amount of T-bone steak on hand and is deciding whether to sell the T-bone steaks as they are initially cut or process them further into filet mignon and the New York cut. If the T-bone steaks are sold as initially cut, the company figures a 1-pound T-bone steak yields the following profit: If the company further processes the T-bone steaks, then one 16-ounce T-bone steak will yield one 6-ounce filet mignon, one 8-ounce New York cut, and two ounces of waste. It costs $0.19 to further process one T-bone steak into the filet mignon and New York cuts. The filet mignon can be sold for $14.00 per pound, and the New York cut can be sold for $9.15 per pound. Required: 1. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of further processing one T-bone steak into filet mignon and New York cut steaks? 2. Would you recommend the T-bone steaks be sold as initially cut or processed further? What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of further processing one T-bone steak into filet mignon and New York cut steaks? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Would you recommend the T-bone steaks be sold as initially cut or processed further
