Paper sells for $2.65 a kilogram and cardboard sells for $3.40 a kilogram.

There were no beginning or ending inventories for April.

2.   If the cardboard is sold at the splitoff point then the post splitoff factory capacity can be renovated and leased for the year. The cost of the renovation is budgeted at $125,000 and the annual lease revenue will be $165,000.
