Publix has 2,700 pounds of bananas with a total cost of $864.Because the bananas have become too ripe, Publix is contemplating whether it should use the bananas to bake banana bread or sell the bananas 'as is' to the homeless center for $1,485.In addition to the cost of the bananas, it would cost $2,565 to convert the bananas into bread, which could then be sold for a total of $4,480.However, a special oven to bake the bread will have to be rented for an additional $300.What is the incremental effect on income if Publix converts the bananas to banana bread?
