Firm X has a production process that has a total joint cost of $14,000. At the split-off point, there are 1,000 pounds of Product 1 and 3,000 pounds of Product 2. What is the cost per pound of Product 1 using the physical measure method?

A chemical company is considering two types of incinerators to burn solid waste generated by a chemical operation. Both incinerators have a burning capacity of 20 tons per day. The following data have been compiled for comparison of the two incinerators: If the firm's MARR is known to be 13%. determine the processing cost per tonof solid waste for each incinerator. Assume that incinerator B will be availablein the future at the same cost.

Glassworks makes products for the sandblasting industry. One of the products they make is bags of high-grade sandblasting media that is made from a combination of quartz-sand and recycled ground-glass (cullet). Standard costs and quantities to produce one bag of sandblasting media are as follows:                           Quantity          Cost Quartz-sand    20 kg               $4.00 Cullet               5 kg                $3.00   80,000 bags of sandblasting media were produced.

Allocate the joint costs to each of the three products. c. Determine the cost per pound for product A. a. Total joint costs b. Amount of joint costs allocated to A b. Amount of joint costs allocated to B b. Amount of joint costs allocated to C c. Cost for product A per pound

Two alternatives are under consideration for a tapered fastening pin. Either design will serve the purpose and will involve the same material and manufacturing cost except for the lathe and grinder operations. Design A will require 16 hours of lathe time and 4.5 hours of grinder time per 1,000 units. Design B will require 7 hours of lathe time and 12 hours of grinder time per 1,000 units. The operating cost of the lathe including labor is ₱200 per hour. The operating cost of the grinder including labor is ₱150per hour. Which design should be adopted if 100,000 units are required per year and what is the economic advantage of the best alternative?

Malloy Milling grinds calcined alumina to a standard granular size. The mill produces two different size products, regular grind and super grind, from the same raw materials. After reviewing the production rate, demand, and profit for each of the two types of grind, Malloy Milling found the following linear optimization model for profit, where R is the number of tons of regular grind produced and S is the number of tons of super grind produced. Implement the linear optimization model on a spreadsheet and use Solver to find an optimal solution. Interpret the Solver Answer Report, identify the binding constraints, and verify the values of the slack variables. Maximize Profit=1000 R+ 1800 S R+S≥700 R S 5 3 R≥400 S≥200 $168 (Total production) (Time limitation) (Demand for regular grind) (Demand for super grind) Implement the linear optimization model and find an optimal solution. Interpret the optil solution. The optimal solution is to produce tons of regular grind and tons of super grind.…

Use the information provided to calculate standard costs: To make one switch it takes 17 feet of plastic-coated copper wire and 0.9 pounds of plastic material. The plastic material can usually be purchased for $17 per pound, and the wire costs $2.67 per foot. The labor necessary to assemble a switch consists of two types. The first type of labor is assembly, which takes 3.3 hours. These workers are paid $26 per hour. The second type of labor is finishing, which takes 2.2 hours. These workers are paid $28 per hour. Overhead is applied using labor hours. The variable overhead rate is $14.39 per labor hour. The fixed overhead rate is $14.94 per hour. What is the total standard cost for direct materials? Round to the nearest penny, two decimal places.

Haggstrom, Inc., manufactures steel fittings. Each fitting requires both steel and an alloy that allows the fitting to be used under extreme conditions. The following data apply to the production of the fittings. Direct materials per unit 3 pounds of steel at $0.55 per pound 0.5 pounds of alloy at $1.90 per pound Direct labor per unit 0.02 hours at $30 per hour Overhead per unit Indirect materials Indirect labor Utilities Plant and equipment depreciation Miscellaneous $0.60 0.75 0.55 0.90 0.70 Total overhead per unit $3.50 The plant and equipment depreciation and miscellaneous costs are fixed and are based on production of 250,000 units annually. All other costs are variable. Plant capacity is 300,000 units annually. All other overhead costs are variable. The following are forecast for year 2. Contract negotiations with the union are expected to lead to an increase in hourly direct labor costs of 4 percent, mostly in the form of additional benefits. Commodity prices, including steel,…
