Differential Analysis for Further Processing
The management of Dominican Sugar Company is considering whether to process further raw sugar into refined sugar. Refined sugar can be sold for $2.20 per pound, and raw sugar can be sold without further processing for $1.40 per pound. Raw sugar is produced in batches of 42,000 pounds by processing 100,000 pounds of sugar cane, which costs $0.35 per pound of cane. Refined sugar will require additional processing costs of $0.50 per pound of raw sugar, and 1.25 pounds of raw sugar will produce 1 pound of refined sugar.
Required:
Prepare a differential analysis as of March 24 to determine whether to sell raw sugar (Alternative 1) or process further into refined sugar (Alternative 2).

- Sell or process further Dakota Coffee Company produces Columbian coffee in batches of 7,500 pounds. The standard quantity of materials required in the process is 7,500 pounds, which cost 6.00 per pound. Columbian coffee can be sold without further processing for 9.80 per pound. Columbian coffee can also be processed further to yield Decaf Columbian, which can be sold for 11.60 per pound. The processing into Decaf Columbian requires additional processing costs of 6,300 per batch. The additional processing will also cause a 5% loss of product due to evaporation. a. Prepare a differential analysis dated December 11 on whether to sell regular Columbian (Alternative 1) or process further into Decaf Columbian (Alternative 2). b. Should Dakota Coffee Company sell Columbian coffee or process further and sell Decaf Columbian? Explain. c. Determine the price of Decaf Columbian that would cause neither an advantage nor a disadvantage for processing further and selling Decaf Columbian.arrow_forwardSell or process further Calgary Lumber Company incurs a cost of 315 per hundred board feet (hbf) in processing certain rough-cut lumber, which it sells for 440 per hbf. An alternative is to produce a finished cut at a total processing cost of 465 per hbf, which can be sold for 600 per hbf. Prepare a differential analysis dated March 15 on whether to sell rough-cut lumber (Alternative 1) or process further into finished-cut lumber (Alternative 2).arrow_forwardEmerald Island Company is considering building a manufacturing plant in County Kerry. Predicting sales of 100,000 units, Emerald Isle estimates the following expenses: An Irish firm that specializes in marketing will be engaged to sell the manufactured product and will receive a commission of 10% of the sales price. None of the U.S. home office expense will be allocated to the Irish facility. Required: 1. If the unit sales price is 2, how many units must be sold to break even? (Hint: First compute the variable cost per unit.) 2. Calculate the margin of safety ratio. 3. Calculate the contribution margin ratio.arrow_forward
- Materials used by the Instrument Division of Ziegler Inc. are currently purchased from outside suppliers at a cost of 1,350 per unit. However, the same materials are available from the Components Division. The Components Division has unused capacity and can produce the materials needed by the Instrument Division at a variable cost of 900 per unit. a. If a transfer price of 1,000 per unit is established and 75,000 units of materials are transferred, with no reduction in the Components Divisions current sales, how much would Ziegler Inc.s total operating income increase? b. How much would the Instrument Divisions operating income increase? c. How much would the Components Divisions operating income increase?arrow_forwardAlmond Treats manufactures various types of cereals that feature almonds. Acme Cereal Company has approached Almond Treats with a proposal to sell the company its top selling cereal at a price of $22,000 for 20,000 pounds. The costs shown are associated with production of 20,000 pounds of almond cereal: The manufacturing overhead consists of $2,000 of variable costs with the balance being allocated to fixed costs. Should Almond Treats make or buy the almond cereal?arrow_forwardOat Treats manufactures various types of cereal bars featuring oats. Simmons Cereal Company has approached Oat Treats with a proposal to sell the company its top selling oat cereal bar at a price of $27,500 for 20,000 bars. The costs shown are associated with production of 20,000 oat bars currently. The manufacturing overhead consists of $3,000 of variable costs with the balance being allocated to fixed costs.

- Shelby Industries has a capacity to produce 45.000 oak shelves per year and is currently selling 40,000 shelves for $32 each. Martin Hardwoods has approached Shelby about buying 1,200 shelves for a new project and is willing to pay $26 each. The shelves can be packaged in bulk; this saves Shelby $1.50 per shelf compared to the normal packaging cost. Shelves have a unit variable cost of $27 with fixed costs of $350,000. Because the shelves dont require packaging, the unit variable costs for the special order will drop from $27 per shelf to $25.50 per shelf. Shelby has enough idle capacity to accept the contract. What is the minimum price per shelf that Shelby should accept for this special order?arrow_forwardSell at Split-Off or Process Further Eunice Company produces two products from a joint process. Joint costs are 70,000 for one batch, which yields 1,000 liters of germain and 4,000 liters of hastain. Germain can be sold at the split-off point for 24 or be processed further, into geraiten, at a manufacturing cost of 4,100 (for the 1,000 liters) and sold for 33 per liter. If geraiten is sold, additional distribution costs of 0.80 per liter and sales commissions of 10% of sales will be incurred. In addition, Eunices legal department is concerned about potential liability issues with geraitenissues that do not arise with germain. Required: 1. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Considering only gross profit, should germain be sold at the split-off point or processed further? 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Taking a value-chain approach (by considering distribution, marketing, and after-the-sale costs), determine whether or not germain should be processed into geraiten.arrow_forwardMorrill Company produces two different types of gauges: a density gauge and a thickness gauge. The segmented income statement for a typical quarter follows. Includes depreciation. The density gauge uses a subassembly that is purchased from an external supplier for 25 per unit. Each quarter, 2,000 subassemblies are purchased. All units produced are sold, and there are no ending inventories of subassemblies. Morrill is considering making the subassembly rather than buying it. Unit-level variable manufacturing costs are as follows: No significant non-unit-level costs are incurred. Morrill is considering two alternatives to supply the productive capacity for the subassembly. 1. Lease the needed space and equipment at a cost of 27,000 per quarter for the space and 10,000 per quarter for a supervisor. There are no other fixed expenses. 2. Drop the thickness gauge. The equipment could be adapted with virtually no cost and the existing space utilized to produce the subassembly. The direct fixed expenses, including supervision, would be 38,000, 8,000 of which is depreciation on equipment. If the thickness gauge is dropped, sales of the density gauge will not be affected. Required: 1. Should Morrill Company make or buy the subassembly? If it makes the subassembly, which alternative should be chosen? Explain and provide supporting computations. 2. Suppose that dropping the thickness gauge will decrease sales of the density gauge by 10 percent. What effect does this have on the decision? 3. Assume that dropping the thickness gauge decreases sales of the density gauge by 10 percent and that 2,800 subassemblies are required per quarter. As before, assume that there are no ending inventories of subassemblies and that all units produced are sold. Assume also that the per-unit sales price and variable costs are the same as in Requirement 1. Include the leasing alternative in your consideration. Now, what is the correct decision?arrow_forward
