Product X-547 is one of the joint products in a joint manufacturing process. Management is considering whether to sell X-547 at the split-off point or to process X-547 further into Xylene. The following data have been gathered: Selling price of X-547 Variable cost of processing X-547 into Xylene. The avoidable fixed costs of processing X-547 into Xylene. The selling price of Xylene. The joint cost of the process from which X-547 is produced. Which of the above items are relevant in a decision of whether to sell the X-547 as is or process it further into Xylene?

“ Managers must decide whether a product should be sold at splitoff or processed furthur.The sales value at splitoff method of joint-cost allocation is the best method for generating the information managers need for this decision.”Do you agree? Explain.
Can you provide samples/examples of tasks for developing the costing and profitability model for a new product? Should include the following: o A table showing the list of the parameters used in your model o A breakdown of the expected production costs and profitability o Calculation of the NPV of expected sales/ profitability o A sensitivity analysis that accounts for changes in any three (3) parameters of your model. o At least two trade-off rules you developed for your product development
Joint procducts may be processed differently or maybe sold without processing. This process of production is called the selective process. The calculation of cost in this method is called -- a. Parallel Process Costing b. Cross Process Costing c.Sequential Process Costing D.Selective Process CostingWhich is not a feature of process costing : O The output of multiple process is used as raw materíal by another process. O Calculate output in terms of equivalent units. O Process costs aré appropriate for industries that manufacture homogeneous products. O The output of one process is used as raw material by another process.
b) Paste Corporation has established new plant for the production of new product called “Diazinon”. There are two different manufacturing methods available to produce Diazinon. Either by using a process or an order base method. The assembling technique won't influence the quality or deals of the item. The evaluated manufacturing expenses of the two strategies are as per the following:Process base Order baseVariable manufacturing cost per unit..................... Rs14.00 Rs.17.60Fixed manufacturing cost per year ......................Rs. 2,440,000 Rs. 1,320,000 The organization's statistical surveying office has suggested an initial selling cost of Rs.35 per unit for Diazinon. The yearly fixed selling and admin costs of the Diazinon are Rs.500, 000. The variable selling and regulatory costs are Rs. 2 per unit. Required: I. CM ratio and variable expenses ratio. If Paste Corporation uses the:1. Process base manufacturing method.2. Order base manufacturing method.II. Break-even point in…

ABC steel plant industry plans to manufacture a product. The product needs a special component. The industry has reviewed that the special component can be produced in the plant or bought in. An investment is required to start the production of the component for which two mutually exclusive projects A and B representing different production processes are available. The alternative option is to buy in from another company representing project C. The details of projects A and B are given in Table 3: (i) Using the information from table 3 and Discount Cash Flow criteria, calculate Pay Back Period (PBP), Account Rate of Return (ARR), Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate Return (IRR) for project A & Project B if the industry plans to sale the unit cost of RO 350. (ii) Using the annual cost data from table 3, determine which project incurs less cost if the industry considers producing 7,500 units per year. (iii) Using the table 3, determine the Break-Even quantity and margin of…
