Question
Chapter 7, Problem 7.6BE
To determine
Sell or process-further decision:
The purpose of sell or process-further decision is to choose an appropriate alternative that maximizes the operating income. It uses incremental analysis which determines the incremental revenue.
Incremental revenue refers to the difference in the total revenue earned when the product or service is sold at split-off point and the total revenue earned when the product or service is sold after further processing.
If the incremental revenue is more than the incremental costs, the product should be sold after further processing. If the incremental revenue is lesser than the incremental costs, the product should be sold at split-off point.
To discuss: The products which Corporation A should make.

Gunston Processing produces two products, ALT-1 and ALT-2, from a batch using a single raw material, ALT-O. Both products require
further processing before they be can be sold. A batch of ALT-1 can be sold for $153,000 after processing costs of $42,000. A batch of
ALT-2 can be sold for $241,200 after further processing. The cost of ALT-O is $200,000 for a batch. Using the estimated net realizable
value method, a joint cost of $120,000 was allocated to ALT-2 for a batch.
Required:
Compute the separable processing cost for a batch of ALT-2.
Note: Do not round intermediate calculations.
Processing cost
Brandon Machines manufactures a number of products from the same raw material. Joint processing costs total $10,000. Product A could be sold at the cut-off point for $18,000 or it can be further processed at a cost of $9,000 and then sold for $35,000. Brandon should:
Further process product A because its incremental revenues will exceed incremental costs by $8,000.
Further process product A because its incremental revenues will exceed incremental costs by $26,000.
Sell as-is because the incremental loss is $2,000 if processed further.
Further process product A because its incremental revenues will exceed incremental costs by $16,000.
Further process because the incremental revenues will be $35,000.
Gunston Processing produces two products, ALT-1 and ALT-2, from a batch using a single raw material, ALT-O. Both products require
further processing before they be can be sold. A batch of ALT-1 can be sold for $150,000 after processing costs of $30,000. A batch of
ALT-2 can be sold for $240,000 after further processing. The cost of ALT-0 is $200,000 for a batch. Using the estimated net realizable
value method, a joint cost of $120,000 was allocated to ALT-2 for a batch.
Required:
Compute the separable processing cost for a batch of ALT-2.

- Mobil Manufacturing purchases a liqid raw material. The material was refined into 3 complete products; neon, argon, and xenon. In the manufacturing process, the 3 products undergo a joint process that has a total cost of $160,000, which includes the cost of the liquid raw material. We learn that 25,000 gallonw of argon can be sold for $45,000 immediately after the completion of the joint production process, without any further processing. 30,000 gallons of xenon are processed in a second department for an extra cost of $66,000 and was sold for $120,000. 60,000 gallons of neon was processed in a third department at an extra cost of $119,000 and was sold for $175,000. Both xenon and neon can be sold at the split-off point for $40,000 and $60,000.
