The Shirt Works sells a large variety of tee shirts and sweatshirts. Steve Hooper, the owner, is thinking of expanding his sales by hiring high school students, on a commission basis, to sell sweatshirts bearing the name and mascot of the local high school. These sweatshirts would have to be ordered from the manufacturer six weeks in advance, and they could not be returned because of the unique printing required. The sweatshirts would cost Hooper $24.00 each with a minimum order of 186 sweatshirts. Any additional sweatshirts would have to be ordered in increments of 186. Since Hooper's plan would not require any additional facilities, the only costs associated with the project would be the costs of the sweatshirts and the costs of the sales commissions. The selling price of the sweatshirts would be $48.00 each. Hooper would pay the students a commission of $6.00 for each shirt sold. Required: 1. What level of unit sales and dollar sales is needed to attain a target profit of $13,392?…
Gibson Chicken Corporation processes and packages chicken for grocery stores. It purchases chickens from farmers and processes them into two different products: chicken drumsticks and chicken steak. From a standard batch of 15,000 pounds of raw chicken that costs $8,200, the company produces two parts: 2,000 pounds of drumsticks and 5,000 pounds of breast for a processing cost of $3,887. The chicken breast is further processed into 4,200 pounds of steak for a processing cost of $2,200. The market price of drumsticks per pound is $1.65 and the market price per pound of chicken steak is $4.20. If Gibson decided to sell chicken breast instead of chicken steak, the price per pound would be $2.40. Required a-1. Allocate the joint cost to the joint products, drumsticks and breasts, using weight as the allocation base. a-2. Calculate the gross profit for each product. a-3. If the drumsticks are producing a loss, should that product line be eliminated? b-1. Reallocate the joint cost to the…

Quality Clothing, Inc., produces skorts and jumper uniforms for school children. In the process of cutting out the cloth pleces for each product, a certain amount of scrap cloth is produced. Quality has been selling this cloth scrap to Jorge's Scrap Warehouse for $3.30 p pound. Last year, the company sold 42,000 lb. of scrap, which would be enough to make 10,500 teddy bears that the management of Quality is now interested in producing. Their processes would need some reprogramming, particularly in the cutting and stitching processes, but it would require no additional worker training. However, new packaging would be needed. The total variable cost to produce the teddy bears $3.80. Fixed costs would increase by $93,000 per year for the lease of the packaging equipment and Quality estimates it could produce and sell 10,500 teddy bears per year. Finished teddy bears could be sold for $18.00 each. Calculate the effect on operating Income. Round your answers to the nearest dollar. Sell at…

Kim Epson operates a full-service car wash, which operatesfrom 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., 7 days a week. The car wash has two sta-tions: an automatic washing and drying station and a manualinterior cleaning station. The automatic washing and dryingstation can handle 30 cars per hour. The interior cleaningstation can handle 200 cars per day. Based on a recent year-end review of operations, Kim estimates that future demandfor the interior cleaning station for the 7 days of the week, expressed in average number of cars per day, would be asfollows:Day Mon. Tues. Wed. Thurs. Fri. Sat. Sun.Cars 160 180 150 140 280 300 250By installing additional equipment (at a cost of $50,000), Kimcan increase the capacity of the interior cleaning station to300 cars per day. Each car wash generates a pretax contribu-tion of $4.00. Should Kim install the additional equipment ifshe expects a pretax payback period of three years or less?
Tommy Tomato, Incorporated (TTI) sells organic canned tomato sauces. TTI spends $50,000 purchasing, cutting, washing, grinding, and straining tomatoes into 100,000 liters of plain tomato sauce ($0.50 per liter). At this point, TTI has two choices: a) sell the plain tomato sauce for $2 per liter; or b.) take the 100,000 liters of plain tomato sauce and process them further into a gourmet seasoned pizza sauce that can be sold for $3.10 per liter. The extra seasoning and processing required to convert the plain tomato sauce into gourmet pizza sauce costs TTI $0.75 per liter. TTI can choose to sell the plain tomato sauce as-is at the "split-off point" or decide to process the sauce further into the gourmet sauce. 1. If TTI sells the 100,000 liters of gourmet pizza sauce, how much sales revenue will TTI generate? If TTI decides to simply sell the 100,000 liters of plain tomato sauce without processing it any further, how much sales revenue would TTI generate instead? How much additional…
