PR 25-4A Differential analysis for further processing The management of Dominican Sugar Company is considering whether to process further raw sugar into refined sugar. Refined sugar can be sold for $2.20 per pound, and raw sugar can be sold without further processing for $1.40 per pound. Raw sugar is produced in batches of 42,000 pounds by processing 100,000 pounds of sugar cane, which costs $0.35 per pound of cane. Refined sugar will require additional processing costs of $0.50 per pound of raw sugar, and 1.25 pounds of raw sugar will produce 1 pound of refined OBJ. 1 sugar. Instructions 1. Prepare a differential analysis as of March 24 to determine whether to sell raw sugar (Alternative 1) or process further into refined sugar (Alternative 2). 2. Briefly report your recommendations.

Exercise 7-25 Manufacturing; Using CVP Analysis (LO 7-1, 7-4) Rosario Company, which is located in Buenos Aires, Argentina, manufactures a component used in farm machinery. The firm's fixed costs are 3,100,000 p per year. The variable cost of each component is 1,500 p, and the components are sold for 3,100 p each. The company sold 5,400 components during the prior year. (p denotes the peso, Argentina's national currency. Several countries use the peso as their monetary unit. On the day this exercise was written, Argentina's peso was worth 0.104 U.S. dollar. In the following requirements, ignore income taxes.) Required: 1. Compute the break-even point in units. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) 2. What will the new break-even point be if fixed costs increase by 20 percent? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) 3. What was the company's net income for the prior year? 4. The sales manager believes that a reduction in the sales price to 2,600 p will result in…
Sell or Process Further Zing Coffee Company produces Columbian coffee in batches of 7,000 pounds. The standard quantity of materials required in the process is 7,000 pounds, which cost $6 per pound. Columbian coffee can be sold without further processing for $9 per pound. Columbian coffee can also be processed further to yield Decaf Columbian, which can be sold for $12 per pound. The processing into Decaf Columbian requires additional processing costs of $14,539 per batch. The additional processing also causes a 5% loss of product due to evaporation. a. Prepare a differential analysis dated October 6 on whether to sell regular Columbian (Alternative 1) or process further into Decaf Columbian (Alternative 2). For those boxes in which you must enter subtracted or negative numbers use a minus sign.

Page 266 MINICASE Flowton Products enjoys a steady demand for stainless steel infiltrators used in a number of chemical processes. Revenues from the infiltrator division are $50 million a year, and production costs are $47.5 million. However, the 10 high-precision Munster stamping machines that are used in the production process are coming to the end of their useful life. One possibility is simply to replace each existing machine with a new Munster. These machines would cost $800,000 each and would not involve any additional operating costs. The alternative is to buy 10 centrally controlled Skilboro stampers. Skilboros cost $1.25 million each, but compared with the Munster, they would produce a total saving in operator and material costs of $500,000 a year. Moreover, the Skilboro is sturdily built and would last 10 years, compared with an estimated seven-year life for the Munster. Analysts in the infiltrator division have produced the accompanying summary table, which shows the…
Exercise 21.12 (Static) Pricing a Special Order (LO21-1, LO21-2, LO21-3) Mazeppa Corporation sells relays at a selling price of $28 per unit.

Question 13 Earl’s Hurricane Lamp Oil Company produces both A-1 Fancy and B Grade Oil. There are approximately $18,000 in joint costs that Earl may allocate using the relative sales value at splitoff or the net realizable value approach. At splitoff, A-1 sells for $20,000 while B grade sells for $40,000. After an additional investment of $10,000 after splitoff, $3,000 for B grade and $7,000 for A-1, both the products sell for $50,000. What is the difference in allocated costs for the A-1 product assuming applications of the net realizable value and the sales value at splitoff approach? Group of answer choices A-1 Fancy has $2,600 less joint costs allocated to it under the net realizable value approach than the sales value at splitoff approach. A-1 Fancy has $2,600 more joint costs allocated to it under the net realizable value approach than the sales value at splitoff approach. A-1 Fancy has $1,500 less joint costs allocated to it under the net realizable value approach than…
