Assam Lumber has a Raw lumber Division and a Finished Lumber Division.
The variable costs are Raw Lumber Division: 1,000 per 100 board feet of raw lumber
Finished Lumber Division: 1,250 per 100 board feet of finished lumber
Assume that there is no board feet loss in processing raw lumber into finished lumber.
Raw Lumber can be sold at 2,000 per 100 board feet.
Finished Lumber can be sold at 2,750 per 100 board feet.
