Underground Food Store has 6,000 pounds of raw beef nearing its expiration date. Each pound has a cost of $4.40. The beef could be sold "as is" for $3.00 per pound to the dog food processing plant, or roasted and sold in the deli. The cost of roasting the beef will be $2.70 per pound, and each pound could be sold for $6.40. What should be done with the beef, and why? If required, round final answers to two decimal places.
