Thompson Industrial Products Inc. (TIPI) is a diversified industrial-cleaner processing company. The company's Dargan plant produces two products: a table cleaner and a floor cleaner from a common set of chemical inputs (CDG). Each week, 945,000 ounces of chemical input are processed at a cost of $213,000 into 630,000 ounces of floor cleaner and 315,000 ounces of table cleaner. The floor cleaner has no market value until it is converted into a polish with the trade name FloorShine. The additional processing costs for this conversion amount to $244,200,
Floor Shine sells at $20 per 30-ounce bottle. The table cleaner can be sold for $21 per 25-ounce bottle. However, the table cleaner can be converted into two other products by adding 315,000 ounces of another compound (TCP) to the 315,000 ounces of table cleaner.
This joint process will yield 315,000 ounces each of table stain remover (TSR) and table polish (TP). The additional processing costs for this process amount to $102,000. Both…

- Computador has a manufacturing plant in Des Moines that has the theoretical capability to produce 243,000 laptops per quarter but currently produces 91,125 units. The conversion cost per quarter is 7,290,000. There are 60,750 production hours available within the plant per quarter. In addition to the processing minutes per unit used, the production of the laptops uses 10 minutes of move time, 20 minutes of wait time, and 5 minutes of rework time. (All work is done by cell workers.) Required: 1. Compute the theoretical and actual velocities (per hour) and the theoretical and actual cycle times (minutes per unit produced). 2.

The setup cost per production run is $18,000 for either casing. The cost of carrying small casings in inventory is $6 per casing per year; the cost of large casings is $18 per unit per year. To satisfy demand, the company produces 2,400,000 small casings and 800,000 large casings. 1. Compute the number of large casings that should be produced per setup to minimize total setup and carrying costs for this product. 2.

- IPort Products makes cases for portable music players in two processes, cutting and sewing. The cutting process has a capacity of 115,000 units per year; sewing has a capacity of 150,000 units per year. Cost information follows. Inspection and testing costs $ 47,500 Scrap costs (all in the cutting dept.) 147,500 Demand is very strong. At a sales price of $15.00 per case, the company can sell whatever output it can produce. IPort Products can start only 115,000 units into production in the Cutting Department because of capacity constraints. Defective units are detected at the end of production in the Cutting Department. At that point, defective units are scrapped. Of the 115,000 units started at the cutting operation, 17,250 units are scrapped. Unit costs in the Cutting Department for both good and defective units equal $11.30 per unit, including an allocation of the total fixed manufacturing costs of $264,500 per year to units.

Each of these airliners requires a complicated computer system that Randle is considering outsourcing. Currently, for the 100 computer units produced during the year, a total of $7,500,000 were incurred for product costs, of which $4,000,000 were fixed. The remaining product costs were variable. If the computer is outsourced, fixed manufacturing overhead will decrease by 4%, and the freed-up space in the warehouse can be used to produce another part that is high demand. By producing the part in high demand, Randle will produce $500,000 in additional operating income. Assuming Randle will need 120 computer units next year, at what purchase price per unit will the company be economically indifferent between making the part and outsourcing the part? $40,500.00 $41,500.00 $36.363.64 $39,545.45 None of the above options are correct.arrow_forwardGuthrie Generators manufactures a solenoid that it uses in several of its products. Management is considering whether to continue manufacturing the solenoids or to buy them from an outside source. The following information is available: 1. The company needs 20,000 solenoids per year. The solenoids can be purchased from an outside supplier at a cost of $15 per unit. 2. The unit cost of manufacturing the solenoids is $20, computed as follows: Direct materials Direct labor Factory overhead: Variable Fixed Total manufacturing costs Cost per unit ($400,000 ÷ 20,000 units) 3. If the company decides not to manufacture the solenoids, it will eliminate all of the raw materials and direct labor costs but only 75 percent of the variable factory overhead costs. 4. If the solenolds are purchased from the outside source, machinery used in the production of solenoids will be sold at its book value. Accordingly, no gain or loss will be recognized.
