Solution

To calculate the incremental income or loss from processing the oranges into orange juice, we need to compare the potential income from selling the oranges as is versus the potential income from selling them as orange juice, taking into account the additional cost of processing.

  1. First, calculate the potential income from selling the oranges as is: $36,400.

  2. Then, calculate the potential income from selling the oranges as orange juice: $53,000.

  3. Subtract the additional cost of processing the oranges into orange juice: 53,00053,000 - 13,000 = $40,000.

  4. Finally, subtract the potential income from selling the oranges as is from the potential income from selling them as orange juice: 40,00040,000 - 36,400 = $3,600.

So, the incremental income from processing the oranges into orange juice would be $3,600. If this number were negative, it would represent a loss.
