The soap is produced through a joint production process that costs $30,000 per batch. Each batch produces 14,800 bottles of morning glory hand soap, 12,000 bottles of snowflake sparkle hand soap, and 10,000 bottles of sea breeze hand soap at the split-off point. Each product is processed further after the split-off point, but the market value of a bottle of any of the flavors at this point is estimated to be $1.25 per bottle. The additional

- Fiorello Company manufactures two types of cold-pressed olive oil, Refined Oil and Top Quality Oil, out of a joint process. The joint (common) costs incurred are $90,400 for a standard production run that generates 38,400 gallons of Refined Oil and 19,200 gallons of Top Quality Oil. Additional processing costs beyond the split-off point are $2.45 per gallon for Refined Oil and $1.70 per gallon for Top Quality Oil. Refined Oil sells for $4.35 per gallon, while Top Quality Oil sells for $8.10 per gallon. MangiareBuono, a supermarket chain, has asked Fiorello to supply it with 38,400 gallons of Top Quality Oil at a price of $7.9 per gallon. MangiareBuono plans to have the oil bottled in 16-ounce bottles with its own MangiareBuono label. If Fiorello accepts the order, it will save $0.22 per gallon in packaging of Top Quality Oil.

- Pet Products Inc. manufactures two products, cat bowls and dog bowls, from a joint process. Cat bowls are allocated 50% of the total joint costs of $20,000. There are 1,000 cat bowls produced and 1,000 dog bowls produced each year. Cat Bowls can be sold at the split-off point for $10 per unit, or they can be processed further into an extra fancy cat bowl for additional processing costs of $4,974 and sold for $14 each. What is the difference in operating income between processing the cat bowls further versus selling them off at the split-off point? If income is higher by processing the cat bowls further, input your number as a positive number. If income is lower by processing the cat bowls further, input your number as a negative number.arrow_forwardGreen Grow Incorporated (GGI) manufactures lawn fertilizer. Because of the product’s very high quality, GGI often receives special orders from agricultural research groups. For each type of fertilizer sold, each bag is carefully filled to have the precise mix of components advertised for that type of fertilizer. GGI’s operating capacity is 22,000 one-hundred-pound bags per month, and it currently is selling 20,000 bags manufactured in 20 batches of 1,000 bags each. The firm just received a request for a special order of 5,000 one-hundred-pound bags of fertilizer for $130,000 from APAC, a research organization. The production costs would be the same, but there would be no variable selling costs. Delivery and other packaging and distribution services would cause a one-time $2,500 cost for GGI. The special order would be processed in two batches of 2,500 bags each. (No incremental batch-level costs are anticipated.

Some of these products are produced as part of a joint manufacturing process. For example, GR37, a coarse cleaning powder meant for commercial sale, costs $1.80 a pound to make and sells for $2.00 per pound. A portion of the annual production of GR37 is retained for further processing in a separate department where it is combined with several other ingredients to form SilPol, which is sold as a silver polish, at $5.00 per unit. The additional processing requires 1/5 pound of GR37 per unit; additional processing costs amount to $3.70 per unit of SilPol produced. Variable selling costs for SilPol average $0.20 per unit. If production of SilPol were discontinued, $4,900 of costs in the processing department would be avoided. Cantel has, at this point, unlimited demand for, but limited capacity to produce, product GR37. 2. Assume that the cost data reported for GR37 are obtained at a level of output…arrow_forward

The joint products, Alfa and Betters, have a final selling price of $8 per pound and $5 per pound, respectively, after additional processing costs of $3 per pound of each product are incurred after the split-off point. Morefeed, a by-product, is sold at the split- off point for $2.50 per pound.

Betters - 5,000 pounds of Betters, a flavouring material high in carbohydrates with a caloric value of 12,000 calories/pound. Morefeed - 2,000 pounds of Morefeed, used as a cattle feed supplement with a caloric value of 1,000 calories/pound. Questions: 1.
