LO 2. 3
Sell or process further? ADP Mining Company mines an iron ore called Alpha. During the month of August, 175,000 tons of Alpha were mined and processed at a cost of $525,000. As the Alpha ore is mined, it is processed into Delta and Pi,
page 614
where 60% of the Alpha output becomes Delta and 40% becomes Pi. Each product can be sold as is or processed into the refined products Super Delta and Precision Pi Selling prices for these products are as follows:
| Delta | Super Delta | Pi | Precision Pi |
| Selling price $12/ton | $l8/ton | $25/ton | $35/ton |
Required:
- Should Delta and Pi be sold as is or refined into Super Delta and Precision Pi?
- Identify any costs in the problem that are not relevant to this decision.
- What is the maximum profit that ADP Mining Company can expect to earn from the production of the 175,000 tons of Alpha?

Question 10.4
Big Machines Corp. has two divisions. Division Y manufactures components that can be sold in the external market place or transferred to Division Z for further processing. The following data relate to Division Y's component product.
Variable manufacturing costs/unit
$925
Fixed costs/unit at capacity
$275
Selling price/unit
$1,800
The capacity of the plant is 2,500 units per year.
Division Z has offered to purchase 350 units from Division Y at a price of $1,600/unit, which is the market price of the component. The manager of Division Y has refused this offer stating that it would only return a rate of 25.00%, when the divisional target return on sales is 28.00%. The Division Y manager also states that additional fixed costs of $195,000 would be required to produce the 350 units.
The corporate required rate of return is 18% of assets and the existing asset base in Division Y is $2,500,000.
Required:
How many units must Division Y sell in order…
EXERCISE 6-13 Sell or Process Further Decision L06-7

rial and processing costs total $60,000 per ton, one-fourth of which is allocated to product X15.
Seven thousand units of product X15 are produced from each ton of clypton. The units can either
be sold at the split-off point for $9 each, or processed further at a total cost of $9,500 and then
sold for $12 each.
Required:
What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of further processing product X15?
Should product X15 be processed further or sold at the split-off point?

Problem 4
Bexter Labs produces three products: A, B, and C. Bexter can sell up to 3000 units of product A, up to 2000 units of product B, and up to 2000 units of product C. Each unit of product C uses two units of A and three units of B and incurs $5 in processing costs. Products A and B are produced from either raw material 1 or raw material 2. It costs $6 to purchase and process one unit of raw material 1. Each processed unit of raw material 1 yields two units of A and three units of B. It costs $3 to purchase and process a unit of raw material 2. Each processed unit of raw material 2 yields one unit of A and two units of B. The unit prices for the products are A, $5; B, $4; C, $25. The quality levels of each product are: A, 8; B, 7; C, 6. The average quality level of the units sold must be at least 7. Determine how to maximize Bexter's profit.
