Mercia Chocolates produces gourmet chocolate products with no preservatives. Any production must be sold within a few days, so producing for inventory is not an option. Mercia's single plant has the capacity to make 99,000 packages of chocolate annually. Currently, Mercia sells to only two customers: Vern's Chocolates (a specialty candy store chain) and Mega Stores (a chain of department stores). Vern's orders 64,800 packages and Mega Stores orders 24,000 packages annually. Variable manufacturing costs are $28 per package, and annual fixed manufacturing costs are $561,000. The gourmet chocolate business has two seasons, holidays and non- holidays. The holiday season lasts exactly four months and the non-holiday season lasts eight months. Vern's orders the same amount each month, so Vern's orders 20,400 packages during the holidays and 44, 400 packages in the non- holiday season. Mega Stores only carries Mercia's chocolates during the holidays. Required: a. Calculate the product cost for each season with excess capacity costs assigned to season in which it is incurred. b Calculate the product cost for each season with excess capacity costs assigned to the season requiring it.

The Alfredo Fragrance Company produces only one product, a perfume called Hint of Elegance. Hint of Elegance consists of two secret ingredients blended into an exclusive fragrance, which is marketed in Zurich. An economic expression referred to as the Cobb-Douglas function describes the production of Hint of Elegance as follows: Where X is the amount of perfume produced. The company operates at a level where ingredient 1 is set daily at 25 units and ingredient 2 at 36 units. Although the price Alfredo pays for ingredient 1 is fixed at $50 per unit, the cost of ingredient 2 and the selling price for the final perfume are both probabilistic. The sales price for Hint of Elegance follows this distribution: SALES PRICE ($) PROBABILITY 300 0.2 350 0.5 400 0.3 The cost for ingredient 2 is Ingredient 2 Cost ($) Probability 35 0.1 40 0.6 45 0.3 (a) What is the profit equation for Alfredo Fragrance Company?
