i need the answer quickly 2. Three different products are manufactured in an existing batch process. Thedetails are as follows:Product ValueProductkg/batchBatches/y($/kg)A50005.52015006.251330005.7516The cost of manufacturing is $0.75 million/y. The demand for these products isincreasing, and the crystallization step has been determined to be the bottleneck toincreasing the capacity. It is desired to add 25% capacity to this process. The internalhurdle rate for process improvements is 17% p.a. over five years.a. If a new batch crystallizer, which allows for a 25% capacity increase, costs$850,000, do you recommend this process improvement?b. Capital funds are tight, and it has been determined that the maximum investmentpossible is $600,000, resulting in a smaller new crystallizer. Using this crystallizer,identical profitability as found in Part (a) has been determined. Determine whatcapacity increase results from purchasing the smaller crystallizer.c. Suppose that it is now possible to purchase the $850,000 crystallizer, therebyincreasing capacity by 25%. However, the purchase of this crystallizer requiresthat the DCFROR (for this incremental investment) be at least 40% over fiveyears. Is this DCFROR reached?

First of all, we are required to find the total product value and profit before any improvement…

Consider the information below for a company whose products goes through two processes; material cost of GH¢100000 for a quantity of 10000kg, labour cost- GH¢50000 and overhead cost as twice the cost of labour. The company expected an output of 9500kg from process 1 but eventually obtained 9400kg. What value should the output be transferred to process 2?

Consider the following cost and pricing data of ABC Corp. on its Product X: Price: P120.00.per unit Profit Contribution: P90.00 Proposed additional Cost: P3 per unit (for quality improvement) Current Profits: P2.4 million Sales: 100,000 units. Assuming that average variable costs are constant at all output levels, find ABC Corp.’s total cost function before the proposed change.Calculate the total cost function if the quality improvement is implemented.Calculate ABC Corp.’s break-even output before and after the change, assuming it cannot increase its price.Calculate the increase in sales that would be necessary with the quality improvement to increase profits to P2.7 million.
An industrial product can be manufactured by two different methods of production. Using Method X, fixed costs are RM455,000 and variable costs are RM15 per product. Using Method Y, fixed costs are RM395,000 and variable costs are RM21 per product. At what volume of output, would the two methods incur the same costs.

Mozaic Inc. has decided to introduce a new product, which can be manufactured by either a computer-assisted manufacturing system (CAM) or a labor-intensive production system (LIP). The manufacturing method will not affect the quality of the product. The estimated manufacturing costs by the two methods are as follows: www CAM System LIP System Direct Material $5.00 $5.60 Direct Labor (DLH) 0.5 DLH x $12 $6.00 0.8 DLH x $9 $7.20 Variable Overhead 0.5 DLH x $6 $3.00 0.8 DLH x $6 $4.80 Fixed Overhead* $2,440,000 $1,320,000 * These costs are directly traceable to the new product line. They would not be incurred if the new product were not produced. The company's marketing research department has recommended an introductory unit sales price of $30.
