Differential Analysis for Further Processing The management of International Aluminum Co. is considering whether to process aluminum ingot further into rolled aluminum. Rolled aluminum can be sold for $2,500 per ton, and ingot can be sold without further processing for $1,250 per ton. Ingot is produced in batches of 83 tons by smelting 550 tons of bauxite, which costs $106 per ton of bauxite. Rolled aluminum will require additional processing costs of $630 per ton of ingot, and 1.25 tons of ingot will produce 1 ton of rolled aluminum. Required: 1. Prepare a differential analysis as of February 5 to determine whether to sell aluminum ingot (Alternative 1) or process further into rolled aluminum (Alternative 2). I required, do not round interim calculations. If required, use a minus sign to indicate a loss.

Make or Buy Desert Industries manufactures 5,000 units of Part X300 each month for use in production. The facilities now being used to produce Part X300 have fixed monthly overhead costs of $75,000, and a theoretical capacity to produce 7,000 units per month. If Desert were to buy Part X300 from an outside supplier, the facilities would be idle and 80% of the fixed costs would continue to be incurred. There are no alternative uses for the production facilities. The variable production costs of Part X300 are $34 per unit. Fixed overhead is allocated based on planned production levels. If Desert Industries continues to use 5,000 units of Part X300 each month, it would realize a net benefit by purchasing Part X300 from an outside supplier only if the supplier's unit price is less than what amount? $0 Check
Mohave Corp. is considering outsourcing production of ht eumbrella tote bag included with some of its products. The company has received a bid from a supplier in Vietnam to produce 9600 units per year for 7.00 each. Mohave has the following information about the cost of producing tote bags:Directs materials 3.00Direct Labor 2.00Variable manufacturing overhead 1.00Fixed manufacturing overhead 2.50Total cost per unit 8.50Mohave has deteremined that all variable costs could be eliminated by outsourcing the tote bads, while 75 percent of the fixed overhead cost is unavoidable. At this time, Mohave has no specifif use in mind for the space currently dedicated to producing the tote bags.1.) Compute the difference in cost between making and buying the umbrella tote bag. 2.) Based strictly on the incremental analysis should mohave buy the tote bags or contiunue to make them? 3-a.) Suppose that the space mohave currently uses to make the bags could be utilized by a new product line that would…
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. Processing cost hs
Sell or Process Further Port Allen Chemical Company processes raw material D into joint products E and F. Raw material D costs $6 per liter. It costs $100 to convert 100 liters of D into 60 liters of E and 40 liters of F. Product F can be sold immediately for $6 per liter or processed further into Product G at an additional cost of $4 per liter. Product G can then be sold for $14 per liter. Determine whether Product F should be sold or processed further into Product G. • Calculate the net advantage (disadvantage) of further processing • Use a negative sign with your answer to indicate a net disadvantage (if applicable). $0 per liter
Saint John Mining operates several facilities. At one, a typical batch of an ore, Pryex, run through the processing plant yields three products: PX-10, PX-20, and PX-30. At the split-off point, the intermediate products cannot be sold without further processing. A typical batch of PX-10 sells for $110,000 after incurring additional processing costs of $20,000. PX-20 can be sold for $170,000 after additional processing costs of $44,000, and the PX-30 sells for $220,000 but requires additional processing costs of $76,000. The joint costs of processing the Pryex, including the cost of mining, are $240,000 per batch. Required: Use the estimated net realizable value method to allocate the joint processing costs and fill out the following table. PX-10 PX-20 PX-30 Estimated Sales Value at split-off Percent of total sales value at split-off % % % Cost-allocation
A company has a process that results in 980 kilograms of Product X that can be sold for $9 per kilogram. An alternative would be to process Product X further at a cost of $1960 and then sell it for $16 per kilogram. Should management sell Product X now or should Product X be processed further and then sold? Process further; the company will be better off by $4900. Sell now; the company will be better off by $4900. Process further; the company will be better off by $6860. Sell now; the company will be better off by $8820.
Product Decisions Under Bottlenecked Operations Youngstown Glass Company manufactures three types of safety plate glass: large, medium, and small. All three products have high demand.

Sell at Split-Off or Process Further Bozo Inc. manufactures two products from a joint production process. The joint process costs $110,000 and yields 6,000 pounds of LTE compound and 14,000 pounds of HS compound. LTE can be sold at split-off for $55 per pound. HS can be sold at split-off for $11 per pound. A buyer of HS asked Bozo to process HS further into CS compound. If HS were processed further, it would cost $35,700 to turn 14,000 pounds of HS into 4,000 pounds of CS. The CS would sell for $50 per pound. Required: 1. What is the contribution to income from selling the 14,000 pounds of HS at split-off? 2. Conceptual Connection: What is the contribution to income from processing the 14,000 pounds of HS into 4,000 pounds of CS? Should Bozo continue to sell the HS at split-off or process it further into CS? Process it further into CS ✓
