Rouse Petroleum has spent $202,000 to refine 60,000 gallons of petroleum distillate, which can be sold for $6.20 per gallon. Alternatively, Rouse can process the distillate further and produce 55,000 gallons of cleaner fluid. The additional processing will cost $1.70 per gallon of distillate. The cleaner fluid can be sold for $9.10 per gallon. To sell cleaner fluid, Rouse must pay a sales commission of $0.14 per gallon and a transportation charge of $0.18 per gallon.
