Chapter 20, Problem 25P
Taylor Company produces two industrial cleansers that use the same liquid chemical input: Pocolimpio and Maslimpio. Pocolimpio uses two quarts of the chemical for every unit produced, and Maslimpio uses five quarts. Currently, Taylor has 6,000 quarts of the material in inventory. All of the material is imported. For the coming year, Taylor plans to import 6,000 quarts to produce 1,000 units of Pocolimpio and 2,000 units of Maslimpio. The detail of each product’s unit contribution margin is as follows:
Taylor Company has received word that the source of the material has been shut down by embargo. Consequently, the company will not be able to import the 6,000 quarts it planned to use in the coming year’s production. There is no other source of the material.
Required:
- 1. Compute the total contribution margin that the company would earn if it could import the 6,000 quarts of the material.
- 2. Determine the optimal usage of the company’s inventory of 6,000 quarts of the material. Compute the total contribution margin for the product mix that you recommend.
- 3. Assume that Pocolimpio uses three direct labor hours for every unit produced and that Maslimpio uses two hours. A total of 6,000 direct labor hours is available for the coming year.
- a. Formulate the linear programming problem faced by Taylor Company. To do so, you must derive mathematical expressions for the objective function and for the materials and labor constraints.
- b. Solve the linear programming problem using the graphical approach.
- c. Compute the total contribution margin produced by the optimal mix.

Johnson Corp. has two divisions, Division A and Division B. Division B has asked Division A to supply it with 5,000 units of part WD26
this year to use in one of its products. Division A has the capacity to produce 25,000 units of part WD26 per year. Division A expects to
sell 21,000 units of part WD26 to outside customers this year at a price of $20.00 per unit. To fill the order from Division B, Division A
would have to cut back its sales to outside customers. Division A's variable manufacturing cost (direct labor + direct material + variable
overhead) for part WD26 is $12.00 per unit. The variable selling cost when selling to outside customers is $2.00 per unit. This variable
selling cost would not have to be incurred on sales of the parts to Division B.
Q. Calculate Division A's minimum acceptable transfer price.

GETSNYA manufactures two industrial products in a joint process. In January, 10,000 gallons of input costing P120,000 were processed at a cost of P300,000. The joint process resulted in 8,000 pounds of Product One and 2,000 pounds of Product Two. Product One sells at P50 per pound and Product Two sells for P100 per pound. Management generally processes each of these chemicals further to produce more refined chemical products. Product One is processed separately at a cost of P10 per pound, the resulting product sells for P70 per pound. Product Two is processed separately at a cost of P30 per pound, the resulting product sells for P190 per pound.Assuming that management is considering an opportunity to process Product Two into a new product. The separable processing will cost P80 per pound. Packaging costs for the new product is projected to be P12 per pound, and anticipated sales price is P260 per pound. Should Product Two be processed further into a new product?
a. Yes, because…
Betram Chemicals Company processes a number of chemical compounds used in producing industrial cleaning products. One compound is decomposed into two chemicals: anderine and dofinol. The cost of processing one batch of compound is $74,000, and the result is 6,000 gallons of anderine and 8,000 gallons of dofinol. Betram Chemicals can sell the anderine at split-off for $11 per gallon and the dofinol for $6.75 per gallon. Alternatively, the anderine can be processed further at a cost of $8 per gallon (of anderine) into cermine. It takes 3 gallons of anderine for every gallon of cermine. A gallon of cermine sells for $60.
Required:
1. Which alternative is more cost effective and by how much?
Process it further by $fill in the blank 2
2. What if the production of anderine into cermine required additional purchasing and quality inspection activity? Every 500 gallons of anderine that undergo further processing require 20 more purchase orders at $10 each and 15 more quality inspection hours at…

- ABC Chemical Company manufactures industrial chemicals. The company plans to introduce a new chemical solution and needs to develop a standard product cost. The new chemical solution is made by combining a chemical compound (nyclyn) with a solution (salex), heating the mixture to boiling point, adding a second compound (protet), and bottling the resulting solution in 15-litre containers. The initial mix, which is 12 litres in volume, consists of 14 kilograms of nyclyn and 11.6 litres of salex. A 1-litre reduction in volume occurs during the boiling process. The solution is cooled slightly before 8 kilograms of protet are added. The protet evaporates, so it does not affect the total liquid volume. The purchase prices of the raw materials used in the manufacture of this new chemical solution are as follows: Nyclyn $4.90 per kilogram Salex $5.60 per litre Protet $6.80 per kilogram a. 102.36 b.

Juno uses two pounds of the material for every unit produced, and Hera uses five pounds. Currently, Company A has 16,000 pounds of the material in inventory. All of the material is imported. For the coming year, Company A plans to import an additional 8,000 pounds to produce 2,000 units of Jay and 4,000 units of Ore. The unit contribution margin is $30 for Jay and $60 for Ore. Also, assume that Norton's marketing department estimates that the company can sell a maximum of 2,000 units of Jay and 4,000 units of Ore.

- Treaty Treat, Inc., purchases soybeans and processes them into the following three types of products: dog biscuits, cat food, and chicken feed. These products are the result of a joint process. In a typical month, there are total joint costs of $191,000. The dog biscuits and chicken feed are sold after being pressed into various shapes without further processing by TreatyTreat. (i.e. the fully- processed sales price is the same as the sales price at the point of split-off.) The cat food must be further mixed with vitamins. If the cat food spoils during the vitamin-adding process, the product can still be sold for fertilizer at $2.70 per unit. (Hint, this would be the sales value of the cat food at the split-off point.) The additional processing of cat food costs TreatyTreat $13,700 per month.
