If the T-bone steaks are sold as initially cut, the company figures that a 1-pound T-bone steak would yield the following profit:
Selling price ($2.40 per pound)
Less joint costs incurred up to the split-off point where T-bone
steak can be identified as a separate product
Profit per pound
If the company were to further process the T-bone steaks, then cutting one side of a T-bone steak provides the filet mignon and
cutting the other side provides the New York cut. One 16-ounce T-bone steak cut in this way will yield one 6-ounce filet mignon and
one 8-ounce New York cut; the remaining ounces are waste. It costs $0.15 to further process one T-bone steak into the filet mignon
and New York cuts. The filet mignon can be sold for $4.00 per pound, and the New York cut can be sold for $3.20 per pound.
Required:
1. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of further processing one T-bone steak into filet mignon and New York cut steaks?
2. Would you recommend that the T-bone steaks be sold as initially cut or processed further?
