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, Ingot is produced in batches of 84 tons by smelting 540 tons of bauxite, which costs $100 per ton of bauxite. Rolled aluminum will require additional processing costs of $640 per ton of ingot, and 1.25 tons of ingot will produce 1 ton 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). If required, do not round interim calculations. If required, us to indicate a loss.

Sell or Process Further Zing Coffee Company produces Columbian coffee in batches of 5,800 pounds. The standard quantity of materials required in the process is 5,800 pounds, which cost $4.00 per pound. Columbian coffee can be sold without further processing for $8.40 per pound. Columbian coffee can also be processed further to yield Decaf Columbian, which can be sold for $10.00 per pound. The processing into Decaf Columbian requires additional processing costs of $12,050 per batch. The additional processing will also cause a 5% loss of product due to evaporation. a.

Magnificent Modems has excess production capacity and is considering the possibility of making and selling security tokens. The following estimates are based on a production and sales volume of 1,000 security tokens. Unit-level manufacturing costs are expected to be $20. Sales commissions will be established at $1 per unit. The current facility-level costs, including depreciation on manufacturing equipment ($60,000), rent on the manufacturing facility ($50,000), depreciation on the administrative equipment ($12,000), and other fixed administrative expenses ($71,950), will not be affected by the production of the security tokens. The chief accountant has decided to allocate the facility-level costs to the existing product (modems) and to the new product (security tokens) on the basis of the number of units of product made (i.e., 5,000 modems and 1,000 security tokens). Required a. Determine the per-unit cost of making and selling 1,000 security tokens. Note: Do not round intermediate…

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.

Zycon has produced 10,000 units of partially finished Product A. These units cost $15,000 to produce, and they can be sold to another manufacturer for $20,000. Instead, Zycon can process the units further and produce finished Products X, Y, and Z. Processing further will cost an additional $22,000 and will yield total revenues of $35,000. Place an X in the appropriate column to identify whether the item is relevant or irrelevant to the sell or process further decision.

Mohave Corporation is considering outsourcing production of the umbrella tote bag included with some of its products. The company has received a bid from a supplier in Vietnam to produce 8,700 units per year for $10.00 each. Mohave the following information about the cost of producing tote bags: Direct materials $ 6.00 Direct labor 2.00 Variable manufacturing overhead 1.00 Fixed manufacturing overhead 1.50 Total cost per unit $ 10.50 Mohave determined all variable costs could be eliminated by outsourcing the tote bags, while 70 percent of the fixed overhead cost is unavoidable. At this time, Mohave has no specific use in mind for the space currently dedicated to producing the tote bags. Required: 1) Based on the incremental analysis, should Mohave buy the tote bags or continue making them? 2) Suppose the space Mohave currently uses to make the bags could be utilized by a new product line that would generate $12,000 in annual profits.
