59) Maxim manufactures a hamster food product called Green Health. Maxim currently has 10,000
bags of Green Health on hand. The variable production costs per bag are $1.80 and total fixed costs
are $10,000. The hamster food can be sold as it is for $9.00 per bag or be processed further into
Premium Green and Green Deluxe at an additional cost. The additional processing will yield
10,000 bags of Premium Green and 3,000 bags of Green Deluxe, which can be sold for $8 and $6
per bag, respectively. Assuming Maxim further processes Green Health further into Premium
Green and Green Deluxe, revenue from the two products would be:
A) $ 2,000. B) $96,000. C) $98,000. D) $ 6,000. E) $ 8,000.

additional production. Should the company accept the special order?
A) Yes, because incremental revenue exceeds incremental costs.
B) Yes, because incremental costs exceed incremental revenues.
C) No, because the incremental revenue is too low.
D) No, because incremental costs exceed incremental revenue.
E) No, because additional production would exceed capacity.
