Euclid Corporation processes a patented chemical, P-1, and produces two outputs, P-11 and P-12. In August, the costs to process P-1 are $144,000 for materials and $288,000 for conversion costs. P-11 has a sales value of $640,000 and P-12 has a sales value of $160,000. Required Using the net realizable value method, assign costs to P-11 and P- 12 for August.
TufStuff, Inc., sells a wide range of drums, bins, boxes, and other containers that are used in the chemical industry. One of the company’s products is a heavy-duty corrosion-resistant metal drum, called the WVD drum, used to store toxic wastes. Production is constrained by the capacity of an automated welding machine that is used to make precision welds. A total of 2,000 hours of welding time is available annually on the machine. Because each drum requires 0.4 hours of welding machine time, annual production is limited to 5,000 drums. At present, the welding machine is used exclusively to make the WVD drums. The accounting department has provided the following financial data concerning the WVD drums: WVD Drums Selling price per drum $ 149.00 Cost per drum: Direct materials $52.10 Direct labor ($18 per hour) 3.60 Manufacturing overhead 4.50 Selling and administrative expense 29.80 90.00 Margin per drum $ 59.00 Management…
Sunland has recently started to manufacture RecRobo, a three-wheeled robot that can scan a home for fires and gas leaks and then transmit this information to a mobile phone.

Youngstown Glass Company manufactures three types of safety plate glass: large, medium, and small. All three products have high demand. Thus, Youngstown Glass is able to sell all the safety glass that it can make. The production process includes an autoclave operation, which is a pressurized heat treatment. The autoclave is a production bottleneck. Total fixed costs are $160,000 for the company as a whole. In addition, the following information is available about the three products: Large Medium Small Unit selling price $353 $253 $133 Unit variable cost (278) (207) (117) Unit contribution margin $ 75 $ 46 $ 16 Autoclave hours per unit 6 4 2 Total process hours per unit 12 8 6 Budgeted units of production 2,600 2,600 2,600 a.

A chemical company is considering two types of incinerators to burn solid waste generated by a chemical operation. Both incinerators have a burning capacity of 20 tons per day. The following data have been compiled for comparison of the two incinerators: If the firm's MARR is known to be 13%. determine the processing cost per tonof solid waste for each incinerator. Assume that incinerator B will be availablein the future at the same cost.
California Circuits Company (3C) manufactures a variety of components. Its Valley plant specializes in two electronic components used in circuit boards. These components serve the same function and perform equally well. The difference in the two products is the raw material. The XL-D chip is the older of the two components and is made with a metal that requires a wash prior to assembly. Originally, the plant released the wastewater directly into a local river. Several years ago, the company was ordered to treat the wastewater before its release, and it installed relatively expensive equipment. While the equipment is fully depreciated, annual operating expenses of $260,000 are still incurred for wastewater treatment. Two years ago, company scientists developed an alloy with all of the properties of the raw materials used in XL-D that generates no wastewater. Some prototype components using the new material were produced and tested and found to be indistinguishable from the old…
Combat Fire, Inc. manufactures steel cylinders and nozzles for two models of fire extinguishers: (1) a home fire extinguisher and (2) a commercial fire extinguisher. The home model is a high-volume (54,000 units), half-gallon cylinder that holds 2 1/2 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 480 PSI. The commercial model is a low-volume (10,200 units), two-gallon cylinder that holds 10 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 390 PSI. Both products require 1.5 hours of direct labor for completion. Therefore, total annual direct labor hours are 96,300 or [1.5 hours × (54,000 + 10,200)]. Estimated annual manufacturing overhead is $ 1,585,316. Thus, the predetermined overhead rate is $ 16.46 or ($ 1,585,316 ÷ 96,300) per direct labor hour. The direct materials cost per unit is $18.50 for the home model and $26.50 for the commercial model. The direct labor cost is $19 per unit for both the home and the commercial models.The company’s managers identified six activity cost pools and related…
Let's start with the joint cleaning and separation process, which allows for the cotton seed and the lint to be separately identifiable. The following quantities of cotton seed and lint were produced for a total cost (including the raw cotton and processing costs) of $232,000. 435,000 pounds of cotton seed 315,000 pounds of lint (fiber) Both of these products can be sold at this point, or they can be processed further. In their present state, they're worth: $0.13 per pound for cotton seed $0.75 per pound for lint This particular company presses the cotton seed to make oil and uses the lint to make thread. The additional costs and processes generate higher sales values for the final products, as follows. Seed/Oil Lint/Thread Additional cost $21,000 Final sales value $84,000 $79,200 $335,000 (b) Allocate the joint process costs using the physical quantities method. (Round proportion to 2 decimal places, e.g. 0.25 and final answers to O decimal places, e.g. 5,125.) Share of joint cost $…
