Whispering & Sons produces tomato juice and tomato puree from fresh tomatoes grown by local farmers.

The company purchases large crates of tomatoes and then washes, sorts, scalds, peels, and crushes them, at

which point the juice and the pulp are separately identifiable. Whispering currently processes the pulp

further to transform it into his great$-$great$-$grandmother's secret$-$recipe spaghetti sauce. The specifics on

each of these products for one month are as follows.Assuming that Whispering could otherwise sell the tomato puree as$-$is for $$154,000($instead of turning

it into spaghetti sauce$),$ would you recommend that he process both of these products past the split$-$off

point? Show how much better or worse off Whispering would be if the puree and the juice are both

processed further.

Whispering & Sons is therefore

by a total $

by processing both

products beyond the split$-$off point.
