Kaune Food Products Company manufactures canned mixed nuts with an average manufacturing cost of 52 per case (a case contains 24 cans of nuts). Kaune sold 150,000 cases last year to the following three classes of customer: The supermarkets require special labeling on each can costing 0.04 per can. They order through electronic data interchange (EDI), which costs Kaune about 61,000 annually in operating expenses and depreciation. Kaune delivers the nuts to the stores and stocks them on the shelves. This distribution costs 45,000 per year. The small grocers order in smaller lots that require special picking and packing in the factory; the special handling adds 25 to the cost of each case sold. Sales commissions to the independent jobbers who sell Kaune products to the grocers average 8 percent of sales. Bad debts expense amounts to 9 percent of sales. Convenience stores also require special handling that costs 30 per case. In addition, Kaune is required to co-pay advertising costs with the convenience stores at a cost of 15,000 per year. Frequent stops are made to each convenience store by Kaune delivery trucks at a cost of 30,000 per year. Required: 1. Calculate the total cost per case for each of the three customer classes. (Round unit costs to four significant digits.) 2. Using the costs from Requirement 1, calculate the profit per case per customer class. Does the cost analysis support the charging of different prices? Why or why not? 3. What if Kaune charged the average price per case to all customer classes? How would that affect the profit percentages?
Dairyplus processes organic milk into plain yogurt. Dairyplus sells plain yogurt to hospitals, nursing homes, and restaurants in bulk, one-gallon containers. Each batch, processed at a cost of $830, yields 300 gallons of plain yogurt. Dairyplus sells the one-gallon tubs for $8 each, and spends $0.14 for each plastic tub. Dairyplus has recently begun to reconsider its strategy. Dairyplus wonders if it would be more profitable to sell individual-size portions of fruited organic yogurt at local food stores. Dairyplus could further process each batch of plain yogurt into 6,400 individual portions (3/4 cup each) of fruited yogurt. A recent market analysis indicates that demand for the product exists. Dairyplus would sell each individual portion for $0.58. Packaging would cost $0.05 per portion, and fruit would cost $0.09 per portion. Fixed costs would not change. Should Dairyplus continue to sell only the gallon-size plain yogurt (sell as is) or convert the plain…
Bart’s Butters receives 1,000,000 containers of raw milk each period that it subsequently processes into consumable milk by adjusting the fat content, adding vitamins, and destroying any potentially harmful bacteria. For Bart’s, one container equals one gallon of consumable milk. Bart’s then must decide whether to sell its consumable milk at split-off or to process it further into butter. Bart’s normally sells consumable milk for a per-gallon price of $3. Alternately, each gallon of milk can be processed further into one-half tub of butter (i.e., one gallon of milk equals 0.5 gallon of butter) at an additional cost of $1.50 per tub of butter. Also, butter can be sold for $6.00 per tub. What is the contribution to income from processing the consumable milk into butter?

Mangia Pizza Company makes frozen pizzas that are sold through grocery stores. Mangia developed the following standard mix for spreading on premade pizza shells to produce 19 giant-size sausage pizzas. Direct Material Mix Mix Proportion SP Standard Cost Tomato sauce 10 lbs. 0.320 $1.50 $15.00 Cheese 11 0.365 2.80 30.80 Sausage 9 0.315 2.10 18.90 Total 30 lbs. $64.70 Mangia put a batch of 2,000 pounds of direct materials (enough for 1,267 frozen sausage pizzas) into process. Of the total, 660 pounds were tomato sauce, 860 pounds were cheese, and the remaining 480 pounds were sausage. The actual yield was 770 pizzas. Required: 1. Calculate the yield ratio based on the standard amounts given. If required, round your answer to two decimal places. 2. Calculate the standard cost per pound of the yield. If required, round your answer to the nearest cent. 3. Calculate the standard yield for actual input of 2,000 pounds…
MARKETING: Kroger, the country's leading grocery-only chain, added a line of private label organic and natural foods call Simple Truth to its stores. If you've priced organic foods, you know they are more expensive. For example, a dozen conventionally farmed Grade-A eggs at Kroger costs consumers $1.501.50, whereas Simple Truth eggs are priced at $3.453.45 per dozen. One study found that, overall, the average price of organic foods is 85 percent more than that of conventional foods. However, if prices get too high, consumers will not purchase the organic options. One element of sustainability is organic farming, which costs much more than conventional farming, and those higher costs are passed on to consumers. Suppose that a conventional egg farmer's average fixed costs per year for conventionally-farmed eggs are $1 million per year, but an organic egg farmer's fixed costs are fourfour times that amount. Further assume that the organic farmer's variable costs of…

Zuzu is a large manufacturer of snack cakes. The company operates distribution centers in Chicago. The distribution center bakes and packages the snack cakes and ships them to grocery warehouses throughout the country. Because of the high standards set for both quality and appearance, there is a reasonable number of “seconds” that do not meet standards and are sold to company outlets for sale at reduced prices. In recent years, the company’s average yield has been 90% of first-quality products for sale to grocery warehouses. The remaining 10% is sent to the outlet store. Zuzu’s performance-evaluation system pays its distribution center managers substantial bonuses if the company achieves annual budgeted profit numbers. In the last quarter of 2017, Noah Spalding, Zuzu’s controller, noted a significant increase in yield percentage of the Chicago distribution center, from 90% to 98%. This increase resulted in a 10% increase in the center’s profits. During a recent trip to the Chicago…

Prepared from a situation suggested by Professor John W. Hardy.) Lone Star Meat Packers is a major processor of beef and other meat products. The company has a large amount of T-bone steak on hand, and it is trying to decide whether to sell the T-bone steaks as they are initially cut or to process them further into filet mignon and the New York cut. If the T-bone steaks are sold as initially cut, the company figures that a 1-pound T-bone steak would yield the following profit: Selling price ($2.00 per pound) $ 2.00 Less joint costs incurred up to the split-off point where T-bone steak can be identified as a separate product 1.55 Profit per pound $ 0.45 If the company were to further process the T-bone steaks, then cutting one side of a T-bone steak provides the filet mignon and cutting the other side provides the New York cut. One 16-ounce T-bone steak cut in this way will yield one 6-ounce filet mignon and one 8-ounce New York cut; the remaining ounces are waste. It…
