If Starforce decides to further process the​ product, operating income​ would decrease by​ $6 per unit. Though there is increase in Gross Income per unit.

As we know that,

Operating Income = Gross Income – Operating Expenses

Increase in Gross Income per unit is :

$290 - $270=  $20

Given, there is an additional​ $26 per unit of variable costs but no change to the fixed costs to further process the​ product.

Change in Operating Income = Change in Gross Income – Change in Operating Expenses

=  $20- $26

= - $6
