Thompson Industrial Products Inc. (TIPI) is a diversified industrial-cleaner processing company. The company’s Dargan plant produces two products: a table cleaner and a floor cleaner from a common set of chemical inputs (CDG). Each week, 900,000 ounces of chemical input are processed at a cost of $210,000 into 600,000 ounces of floor cleaner and 300,000 ounces of table cleaner. The floor cleaner has no market value until it is converted into a polish with the trade name FloorShine. The additional processing costs for this conversion amount to $240,000. FloorShine sells at $20 per 30-ounce bottle. The table cleaner can be sold for $17 per 25-ounce bottle. However, the table cleaner can be converted into two other products by adding 300,000 ounces of another compound (TCP) to the 300,000 ounces of table cleaner. This joint process will yield 300,000 ounces each of table stain remover (TSR) and table polish (TP). The additional processing costs for this process amount to $100,000. Both table products can be sold for $14 per 25-ounce bottle. The company decided not to process the table cleaner into TSR and TP based on the following analysis.           Process Further       Table Cleaner     Table Stain Remover (TSR)   Table Polish (TP)   Total     Production in ounces   300,000       300,000   300,000         Revenues   $204,000       $168,000   $168,000   $336,000     Costs:                            CDG costs   70,000 *     52,500   52,500   105,000 **      TCP costs   0       50,000   50,000   100,000          Total costs   70,000       102,500   102,500   205,000     Weekly gross profit   $134,000       $65,500   $65,500   $131,000     *If table cleaner is not processed further, it is allocated 1/3 of the $210,000 of CDG cost, which is equal to 1/3 of the total physical output. **If table cleaner is processed further, total physical output is 1,200,000 ounces.

The company’s Dargan plant produces two products: a table cleaner and a floor cleaner from a common set of chemical inputs (CDG). Each week, 900,000 ounces of chemical input are processed at a cost of $210,000 into 600,000 ounces of floor cleaner and 300,000 ounces of table cleaner.

P20-3A Determine if product should be sold or processed further.
Thompson Industrial Products Inc. (TIPI) is a diversified industrial-cleaner processing company. The company's Dargar plant
produces two products: a table cleaner and a floor cleaner from a common set of chemical inputs (CDG). Each week 900,000
ounces of chemical input are processed at a cost of $210,000 into 600,000 ounces of floor cleaner and 300,000 ounces of table
cleaner. The floor cleaner has no market value until it is converted into a polish with the trade name FloorShine. The additional
processing costs for this conversion amount to $240,000.
FloorShine sells at $20 per 30-ounce bottle. The table cleaner can be sold for $17 per 25-ounce bottle. However, the table
cleaner can be converted into two other products by adding 300,000 ounces of another compound (TCP) to the 300,000 ounces
of table cleaner. This joint process will yield 300,000 ounces each of table stain remover (TSR) and table polish (TP). The
additional processing costs for this process amounts to $100,000. Both table products can be sold for $14 per $25-ounce bottle.
