Sell or Process Further Decision
Wexpro, Inc., produces several products from processing 1 ton of clypton, a rare mineral. Material and processing costs total $60,000 per ton, one-fourth of which is allocated to product X15. Seven thousand units of product X15 are produced from each ton of clypton. The units can either be sold at the split-off point for $9 each, or processed further at a total cost of $9,500 and then sold for $12 each.
Required:
1. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of further processing product X15?
2. Should product X15 be processed further or sold at the split-off point?
Saint John Mining operates several facilities. At one, a typical batch of an ore, Pryex, run through the processing plant yields three products: PX-10, PX-20, and PX-30. At the split-off point, the intermediate products cannot be sold without further processing. A typical batch of PX-10 sells for $110,000 after incurring additional processing costs of $20,000. PX-20 can be sold for $170,000 after additional processing costs of $44,000, and the PX-30 sells for $220,000 but requires additional processing costs of $76,000. The joint costs of processing the Pryex, including the cost of mining, are $240,000 per batch.
Required:
Use the estimated net realizable value method to allocate the joint processing costs and fill out the following table.

- Calculating EAC You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron I costs $265,000, has a 3-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $41,000 per year. The Techron II costs $330,000, has a 5-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $52,000 per year. For both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the project’s life and assume a salvage value of $25,000. If your tax rate is 21 percent and your discount rate is 9 percent, compute the EAC for both machines. Which do you prefer?

During the current year, The Calgary Oil & Gas Company began an exploration project in Montana. The company had paid $1,500,000 for the drilling rights on a tract of 500 acres of land. The company then spent another $180,000 building roads and containment ponds. The project called for eight exploratory wells to be drilled at an expected cost of $130,000 per well. The first eight wells drilled were found to be "dry" (lacking commercially viable quantities of oil or gas); however, both the ninth and tenth wells drilled contained commercially viable quantities of oil condensate. Consequently, two additional development wells were drilled at a cost of $140,000 per well.
