Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Selling Product B at split-off would yield $15 * 10,000 = $150,000. Processing further costs an additional $20,000 and would sell for $16 * 10,000 = $160,000. The net gain from processing further is $160,000 - $150,000 - $20,000 = -$10,000, indicating a decrease in profit.
