Answer:

Product                                             Net monetary advantage  

X                                                                   (800)                                                                                                                  

Y                                                                   1,000                  

Explanation:

A company should process further a product if the additional revenue from the split-off point is greater than than the further processing cost.  

Also note that all costs incurred up to the split-off point are irrelevant to the decision to process further .
