(Prepared from a situation suggested by Professor John W. Hardy.) Lone Star Meat Packers is a major processor of beef and other meat products. The company has a large amount of T-bone steak on hand and is deciding whether to sell the T-bone steaks as they are initially cut or process them further into filet mignon and the New York cut. If the T-bone steaks are sold as initially cut, the company figures a 1 - pound T-bone steak yields the following profit: Selling price ($8.15 per pound) $ 8.15 Less joint costs incurred up to the split - off point where T-bone steak can be identified as a separate product 1.35 Profit per pound $ 6.80 If the company further processes the T-bone steaks, then one 16-ounce T-bone steak will yield one 6-ounce filet mignon, one 8 - ounce New York cut, and two ounces of waste. It costs $0.14 to further process one T -bone steak into the filet mignon and New York cuts. The filet mignon can be sold for $14.00 per pound, and the New York cut can be sold for $9.00 per pound. Required: What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of further processing one T-bone steak into filet mignon and New York cut steaks? Would you recommend the T-bone steaks be sold as initially cut or processed further?

The Cheyenne Inc., a manufacturer of low-sugar, low-sodium, low-cholesterol TV dinners, would like to increase its market share in the Sunbelt. In order to do so, Cheyenne has decided to locate a new factory in the Panama City area. Cheyenne will either buy or lease a site depending upon which is more advantageous. The site location committee has narrowed down the available sites to the following three very similar buildings that will meet their needs. Building A: Purchase for a cash price of $615,000, useful life 28 years. Building B: Lease for 28 years with annual lease payments of $71,570 being made at the beginning of the year.

Rental payments will be received at the end of each year. The Cheyenne Inc. has no aversion to being a landlord. Show Transcribed Text In which building would you recommend that The Cheyenne Inc.…
McBurger, Inc, wants to redesign its kitchens to improve productivity and quality. Three designs, called designs K1, K2, and K3, are under consideration. No matter which design is used, daily production of sandwiches at a typical McBurger restaurant is for 500 sandwiches, A sandwich costs $1.30 to produce. Non- defective sandwiches sell, on the average, for $2.50 per sandwich. Defective sandwiches cannot be sold and are scrapped. The goal is to choose a design that maximizes the expected profit at a typical restaurant over a 300-day period. Designs K1, K2, and K3 cost $100,000, $130,000, and $180,000, respectively. Under design K1, there is a 80 chance that 90 out of each 100 sandwiches are non-defective and a 20 chance that 70 out of each 100 sandwiches are non- defective. Under design K2, there is a 85 chance that 90 out of each 100 sandwiches are non-defective and a 15 chance that 75 out of each 100 sandwiches are non-defective.
