Perfume manufacturer purchases flowers in bulk and processes them into perfume. From a certain mix of petals, the firm uses Process A to generate Seduction, its high grade perfume, as well as a certain residue. The residue is then further treated, using Process B, to yield Romance, a medium-grade perfume. An ounce of residue typically yields an ounce of Romance. In July, the company uses 25,000 pounds of petals. Costs involved in Process A, i,e., reducing the petals to Seduction and the residue, were: Direct Materials = $440,000 Direct Labour = $220,000 Overhead Costs = $110,000 The additional costs of producing Romance in Process B were: Direct Materials = $22,000 Direct Labour = $50,000 Overhead Costs = $40,000 During July, Process A yielded 7,000 ounces of Seduction and 49,000 ounces of residue. From this, 5,000 ounces of Seduction were packaged and sold for $109.50 an ounce. Also, 28,000 ounces of Romance were processed in Process B and then packaged and sold for $31.50 an ounce.…
Developing raw material cost standards Lakeway Manufacturing Co.manufactures and sells household cleaning products. The company’s research department has developed a new cleaner for which a standard cost must be determined. The new cleaner is made by mixing 11 quarts of triphate solution and 4 pounds of sobase granules and boiling the mixture for several minutes. After the solution has cooled, 2 ounces of methage are added. This “recipe” produces 10 quarts of the cleaner, which is then packaged in 1-quart plastic dispenser bottles.

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 products 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 years 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 companys 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.
Sell or Process Further Zanda Drug Corporation buys three chemicals that are processed to produce two types of analgesics used as ingredients for popular over-the-counter drugs. The purchased chemicals are blended for 2 to 3 hours and then heated for 15 minutes. The results of the process are two separate analgesics, depryl and pencol, which are sent to a drying room until their moisture content is reduced to 6 to 8%. For every 1,300 pounds of chemicals used, 600 pounds of depryl and 600 pounds of pencol are produced. After drying, depryl and pencol are sold to companies that process them into their final form. The selling prices are 12 per pound for depryl and 30 per pound for pencol. The costs to produce 600 pounds of each analgesic are as follows: The analgesics are packaged in 20-pound bags and shipped. The cost of each bag is 1.30. Shipping costs 0.10 per pound. Zanda could process depryl further by grinding it into a fine powder and then molding the powder into tablets. The tablets can be sold directly to retail drug stores as a generic brand. If this route were taken, the revenue received per bottle of tablets would be 4.00, with 10 bottles produced by every pound of depryl. The costs of grinding and tableting total 2.50 per pound of depryl. Bottles cost 0.40 each. Bottles are shipped in boxes that hold 25 bottles at a shipping cost of 1.60 per box. Required: 1. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Should Zanda sell depryl at split-off, or should depryl be processed and sold as tablets? 2. If Zanda normally sells 265,000 pounds of depryl per year, what will be the difference in profits if depryl is processed further?
Strawberry Sweet Company makes a variety of jams and jellies. During June, 55,000 gallons of strawberry mash was processed at a joint cost of $40,000. This produced 42,000 gallons of preserve-grade mix and 4,000 gallons of Strawberry juice for jelly. The juice could be processed further into energy drinks, and the preserve mix could be processed further into ice cream flavoring. Information on these items is shown: A. Assume that the joint cost is allocated to the products based on the physical quantity of output of each product. How much joint cost should be assigned to each product? B. How much joint cost should be assigned to each product if the relative sales value allocation method is used? C. Which products should be processed further?
Process activity analysis The Brite Beverage Company bottles soft drinks into aluminum cans. The manufacturing process consists of three activities: 1. Mixing: water, sugar, and beverage concentrate are mixed. 2. Filling: mixed beverage is filled into 12-oz. cans. 3. Packaging: properly filled cans are boxed into cardboard fridge packs. The activity costs associated with these activities for the period are as follows: The activity costs do not include materials costs, which are ignored for this analysis. Each can is expected to contain 12 ounces of beverage. Thus, after being filled, each can is automatically weighed. If a can is too light, it is rejected, or kicked, from the filling line prior to being packaged. The primary cause of kicks is heat expansion. With heat expansion, the beverage overflows during filling, resulting in underweight cans. This process begins by mixing and filling 6,300,000 cans during the period, of which only 6,000,000 cans are actually packaged. Three hundred thousand cans are rejected due to underweight kicks. A process improvement team has determined that cooling the cans prior to filling them will reduce the amount of overflows due to expansion. After this improvement, the number of kicks is expected to decline from 300,000 cans to 63,000 cans, thus increasing the number of filled cans to 6,237,000 [6,000,000 + (300,000 63,000)]. A. Determine the total activity cost per packaged can under present operations. B. Determine the amount of increased packaging activity costs from the expected improvements. C. Determine the expected total activity cost per packaged can after improvements. Round to three decimal places.
