Carina Company produces sanitation products after processing specialized chemicals; The following relates to its activities: 1 Kilogram of chemicals purchased for $2000 and with an additional $1000 is processed into 400 grams of Crystals and 80 litres of a Cleaning agent. At split-off, a gram of Crystal can be sold for $1, and the Cleaning agent can be sold for $4 per litre. At an additional cost of $400, Carina can process the 400 grams of Crystal into 500 grams of Detergent that can be sold for $2 per gram. The 80 litres of Cleaning agent is packaged at an additional cost of $300 and made into 200 packs of Softener that can be sold for $2 per pack. Required: 1. Allocate the joint cost to the Detergent and the Softener using the following: a. Sales value at split-off method b. NRV method 2. Should Carina have processed each of the products further? What effect does the allocation method have on this decision?

Taylor Company produces two industrial cleansers that use the same liquid chemical input: Pocolimpio and Maslimpio. Pocolimpio uses two quarts of the chemical for every unit produced, and Maslimpio uses five quarts. Currently, Taylor has 6,000 quarts of the material in inventory. All of the material is imported. For the coming year, Taylor plans to import 6,000 quarts to produce 1,000 units of Pocolimpio and 2,000 units of Maslimpio. The detail of each products unit contribution margin is as follows: Taylor Company has received word that the source of the material has been shut down by embargo. Consequently, the company will not be able to import the 6,000 quarts it planned to use in the coming years production. There is no other source of the material. Required: 1. Compute the total contribution margin that the company would earn if it could import the 6,000 quarts of the material. 2. Determine the optimal usage of the companys inventory of 6,000 quarts of the material. Compute the total contribution margin for the product mix that you recommend. 3. Assume that Pocolimpio uses three direct labor hours for every unit produced and that Maslimpio uses two hours. A total of 6,000 direct labor hours is available for the coming year. a. Formulate the linear programming problem faced by Taylor Company. To do so, you must derive mathematical expressions for the objective function and for the materials and labor constraints. b. Solve the linear programming problem using the graphical approach. c. Compute the total contribution margin produced by the optimal mix.
Vollmer Manufacturing makes three components for sale to refrigeration companies. The components are processed on two machines: a shaper and a grinder. The times (in minutes) required on each machine are as follows: The shaper is available for 120 hours, and the grinder for 110 hours. No more than 200 units of component 3 can be sold, but up to 1,000 units of each of the other components can be sold. In fact, the company already has orders for 600 units of component 1 that must be satisfied. The profit contributions for components 1, 2, and 3 are 8, 6, and 9, respectively. a. Formulate and solve for the recommended production quantities. b. What are the objective coefficient ranges for the three components? Interpret these ranges for company management. c. What are the right-hand-side ranges? Interpret these ranges for company management. d. If more time could be made available on the grinder, how much would it be worth? e. If more units of component 3 can be sold by reducing the sales price by 4, should the company reduce the price?

Betram Chemicals Company processes a number of chemical compounds used in producing industrial cleaning products. One compound is decomposed into two chemicals: anderine and dofinol. The cost of processing one batch of compound is $73,000, and the result is 5,900 gallons of anderine and 8,200 gallons of dofinol. Betram Chemicals can sell the anderine at split-off for $12.00 per gallon and the dofinol for $6.30 per gallon. Alternatively, the anderine can be processed further at a cost of $7.90 per gallon (of anderine) into cermine. It takes 4 gallons of anderine for every gallon of cermine. A gallon of cermine sells for $65.

North Co manufactures a powerful cleaning solvent. The main ingredient in the solvent is a raw material called Echol. Information concerning the purchase and use of Echol follows: Purchase of Echol. Echol is purchased in 20-quart containers at a cost of $50 per container. A discount of 4% is offered by the supplier for payment within 10 days, and North Co takes all discounts. Shipping costs, which North Co must pay, amount to $400 for an average shipment of 100 20-quart containers of Echol. Use of Echol. The bill of materials calls for 18.0 quarts of Echol per bottle of cleaning solvent.
