Question
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:
Chemicals $8,500
Direct labor 6,735
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?

- Green Grow Incorporated (GGI) manufactures lawn fertilizer. Because of the product’s very high quality, GGI often receives special orders from agricultural research groups. For each type of fertilizer sold, each bag is carefully filled to have the precise mix of components advertised for that type of fertilizer. GGI’s operating capacity is 22,000 one-hundred-pound bags per month, and it currently is selling 20,000 bags manufactured in 20 batches of 1,000 bags each. The firm just received a request for a special order of 5,000 one-hundred-pound bags of fertilizer for $130,000 from APAC, a research organization. The production costs would be the same, but there would be no variable selling costs. Delivery and other packaging and distribution services would cause a one-time $2,500 cost for GGI. The special order would be processed in two batches of 2,500 bags each. (No incremental batch-level costs are anticipated. Most of the batch-level costs in this case are short-term fixed costs,…arrow_forwardThe Brite Beverage Company bottles soft drinks into aluminum cans. The manufacturing process consists of three activities:i. Mixing: water, sugar, and beverage concentrate are mixed. ii. Filling: mixed beverage is filled into 12-oz. cans. iii. Packaging: properly filled cans are boxed into cardboard “fridge packs.” The activity costs associated with these activities for the period are as follows:Activity CostsMixing $218,000Filling 186,000Packaging 99,000Total 503,000The 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…arrow_forwardCombat 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 x (54,000 + 10,200)]. Estimated annual manufacturing overhead is $1,584,280. Thus, the predetermined overhead rate is $16.45 or ($1,584,280÷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. (a) The company's managers identified six activity cost pools and related…arrow_forward

- Mobil Manufacturing purchases a liqid raw material. The material was refined into 3 complete products; neon, argon, and xenon. In the manufacturing process, the 3 products undergo a joint process that has a total cost of $160,000, which includes the cost of the liquid raw material. We learn that 25,000 gallonw of argon can be sold for $45,000 immediately after the completion of the joint production process, without any further processing. 30,000 gallons of xenon are processed in a second department for an extra cost of $66,000 and was sold for $120,000. 60,000 gallons of neon was processed in a third department at an extra cost of $119,000 and was sold for $175,000. Both xenon and neon can be sold at the split-off point for $40,000 and $60,000.
