Answer:

Cane fiber should not be further processed; Cane juice should be further processed

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the intermediate products that should be processed further

Sell as is Further processing costs Selling price after processing Incremental revenue

Cane Fibre 28 13 36 8

Can Juice 43 23 85 42

(28-36=8)

(85-43=42)

Based on the above calculation CANE FIBER SHOULD NOT be processed further reason been that the incremental revenue is lower than further processing costs by the amount of $5(8-13) which may inturn lead to $5 loss if it is processed further.

Based on the above calculation CANE JUICE Cane juice SHOULD be processed further reason been that the incremental revenue is higher than further processing cost by the amount of $19 ( 42-23) which will inturn will increase the profit by the amount of $19 if it is processed further.
