- Company ZWZ manufactures three products in a serial system; Product XA is manufactured in Stage 1, Product XB in Stage 2, and XC in Stage 3. Product XB has a sales potential in the market; hence, some of it can be sold at the end of Stage 2, and the remaining can be moved to Stage 3. The third stage produces Product XC, and then delivers it to customers. Two units of Product XA produced in Stage 1 are required for each unit of Product XB in Stage 2. In addition, four units of Product XB produced in Stage 2 are required for each unit of Product XC in Stage 3. Stage 1 can only use regular time; however, Stage 2 has the options of using regular time and overtime in manufacturing. On the other hand, Stage 3 has only one alternative, which is subcontracting. The pertinent data are provided below: Stage 2 Stage 1 11 No overtime No subcontracting No sales 0.07 Unit regular time cost (TL) Unit overtime cost (TL) Unit subcontracting cost (TL) Unit selling price (TL) Unit processing time (hrs)…arrow_forwardXYZ Corporation manufactures two products, Simple and Complex.

He loves working with the patients and gets along very well with his coworkers. Normally, Sam will see a patient on his own, or with a female nurse, if the patient is female. However, Sam recently noticed that his time with a patient was coded and billed to Medicare as one of the physician’s time. He recalled the legal course in nursing school about Medicare and knew that NP’s time is reimbursed at 80% of the actual charge or at 85% of the physician’s fee schedule amount, whichever is the lesser. He also remembered that the physician he was billed under was not in the office that day. Being concerned, he reviewed some additional records and discovered almost all of his time was coded and billed to Medicare as one of the physician’s time. When he questioned the billing clerk about the coding, her reply was “the Physician Assistant’s and NP’s time are always coded that…arrow_forward
