Sell or Process Further, Basic Analysis
Carleigh, Inc., is a pork processor. Its plants, located in the Midwest, produce several products from a common process: sirloin roasts, chops, spare ribs, and the residual. The roasts, chops, and spare ribs are packaged, branded, and sold to supermarkets. The residual consists of organ meats and leftover pieces that are sold to sausage and hot dog processors. The joint costs for a typical week are as follows:
Direct materials | $82,000 |
Direct labor | 37,800 |
27,500 |
The revenues from each product are as follows: sirloin roasts, $80,000; chops, $70,500; spare ribs, $35,000; and residual, $8,600.
Carleigh's management has learned that certain organ meats are a prized delicacy in Asia. They are considering separating those from the residual and selling them abroad for $52,200. This would bring the value of the residual down to $3,200. In addition, the organ meats would need to be packaged and then air freighted to Asia. Further

- 34) Boney Corporation processes sugar beets that it purchases from farmers. Sugar beets are processed in batches. A batch of sugar beets costs $60 to buy from farmers and $19 to crush in the company's plant. Two intermediate products, beet fiber and beet juice, emerge from the crushing process. The beet fiber can be sold as is for $30 or processed further for $29 to make the end product industrial fiber that is sold for $77. The beet juice can be sold as is for $51 or processed further for $33 to make the end product refined sugar that is sold for $77. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company from processing one batch of sugar beets into the end products industrial fiber and refined sugar rather than not processing that batch at all?arrow_forwardBoney Corporation processes sugar beets that it purchases from farmers.

There are two logistics network systems. Company JYZ is currently applying system 1 for the distribution and warehousing of its raw materials. In system 1, the raw materials are shipped from suppliers to the warehouse, where sorting is implemented. The materials are then shipped from the warehouse to the customers. JYZ is now thinking of implementing system 2, where raw materials are shipped from suppliers directly to the customers. The costs of both systems are provided below (per quarter). The cost formula is y=a+x(b₁ + b₂ + b3), where b₁,b2b3 are the unit cost for handling, logistics, and sorting. System 1 System 2 Fixed cost $2000 Variable cost Variable cost Variable cost (handling per unit) (logistics per unit) (Sorting per unit) $0.02 $0.01 $0.03 $0.01 $0.01 $0.05 y = a + b(x1+x2+x3) a. What is the breakeven point for the two systems to have identical total cost? b. The total number of units of JYZ is 90,000. Given the total unit 90,000, do you think it will be worth it if…arrow_forward
- ///arrow_forwardActivity-Based Supplier Costing Bowman Company manufactures cooling systems. Bowman produces all the parts necessary for its product except for one electronic component, which is purchased from two local suppliers: Manzer Inc. and Buckner Company. Both suppliers are reliable and seldom deliver late; however, Manzer sells the component for $89 per unit, while Buckner sells the same component for $86. Bowman purchases 80% of its components from Buckner because of its lower price. The total annual demand is 4,000,000 components. To help assess the cost effect of the two components, the following data were collected for supplier-related activities and suppliers: I. Activity Data Inspecting components (sampling only) Reworking products (due to failed component) Warranty work (due to failed component) II. Supplier Data Unit purchase price Units purchased Sampling hours Rework hours Warranty hours Activity Cost $815,000 6,770,000 10,170,000 Buckner Manzer Inc.

- im.arrow_forwardAqua Company produces two products–Alpha and Beta. Alpha has a high market share and is produced in bulk. Production of Beta is based on customer orders and is custom designed. Also, 55% of Beta's cost is shared between design and setup costs, while Alpha's major portions of costs are direct costs. Alpha is using a single cost pool to allocate indirect costs. Which of the following statements is true of Aqua? Question 6 options: Aqua will overcost Alpha's indirect costs as it is using a single cost pool to allocate indirect costs Aqua will overcost Beta's indirect costs because beta has high indirect costs Aqua will undercost Alpha's indirect costs because alpha has high direct costs.

If Burt has a transfer pricing policy that requires transfer at full cost, what will the transferprice be? Do you suppose that Indian and Maple divisions will choose to transfer at thatprice? 2. If Burt has a transfer pricing policy that requires transfer at market price, what wouldthe transfer price be? Do you suppose that Indian and Maple divisions would choose totransfer at that price?3.
