Textbook Question
Chapter 7, Problem 7CE
Orchard Fresh, Inc., purchases apples from local orchards and sorts them into four categories. Grade A are large blemish-free apples that can be sold to gourmet fruit sellers. Grade B apples are smaller and may be slightly out of proportion. These are packed in boxes and sold to grocery stores. Apples for slices are even smaller than Grade B apples and have blemishes. Apples for applesauce are of lower grade than apples for slices, yet still suitable for canning. Information on a recent purchase of 20,000 pounds of apples is as follows:
Total joint cost is $18,000.
Required:
- 1. Allocate the joint cost to the four grades of apples using the physical units method. (Carry out the percent calculations to four significant digits.)
- 2. Allocate the joint cost to the four grades of apples by finding the average joint cost per pound and multiplying it by the number of pounds in the grade. (Round all cost allocations to the nearest dollar.)
- 3. What if there were 2,000 pounds of Grade A apples and 4,600 pounds of Grade B? How would that affect the allocation of cost to these two grades? How would it affect the allocation of cost to the remaining common grades?

Its basic ingredient is a feedstock that is mixed with other ingredients to produce the final packaged product. JFI purchases the feedstock from two suppliers, Rex Materials and Red Oak Chemicals. The quality of the final product depends directly on the quality of the feedstock. If the feedstock is not correct, JFI has to dispose of the entire batch. All feedstock in this business is occasionally "bad," so JFI measures what it calls the "yield," which is measured as, Yield = Good output ÷ Input where the output and inputs are both measured in tons. As a benchmark, JFI expects to get 11 tons of good output for every 20 tons of feedstock purchased for a yield of 55 percent (= 11 tons of output ÷ 20 tons of feedstock). Data on the two suppliers for the past year follow: Rex Materials Red Oak Chemicals Total Total inputs purchased (tons) 1,380 2,280 3,660 Good output (tons) 1,311 1,578 2,889 Average price…arrow_forwardJFI Foods produces processed foods.

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…arrow_forwardZuzu is a large manufacturer of snack cakes.

- Sandhill's is a high-end skincare line that has been created by dermatologists for people who have very dry skin. Sandhill's is very selective about who carries the company's line and therefore is considered a boutique label. Its best-selling product is a lightweight moisturizer that also contains a high level of SPF that customers have come to appreciate. Sandhill's produces the products in limited quantities to best ensure that each container receives the time and attention that it deserves to ensure high quality. As of December 31 of last year, a batch in process contained 280 units that were 60% complete for Conversion Costs (CC) and 100% complete for direct materials (DM) because all DM is added at the front-end of processing. During the current year, Sandhill's started 17,510 units and completed 16,860 units by the close of the year. Units remaining in ending inventory are 70% complete for CC and 100% complete for DM in the current year.

Historically, the company has been using equipment which cuts raw carton paper received from its various suppliers. This cut paper is further painted and assembled into a box shape by two other pieces of equipment. Recently, however, most of its customers began requesting that certain design elements be pressed into the packaging, giving the packaging more visual appeal. The customers were willing to pay more for the added service, making it particularly lucrative for the firm to have incorporate this possibility into its packaging offerings. Managers believed that the existing equipment would be able to handle the new process with certain modifications. In addition to modifying the existing equipment, the company two other alternatives.

The "House" product simply packages the beans into a basic coffee bag. Renner lec, currently uses a plant-wide rate to allocate overhead costs based on direct labor hours, Overhead is estimated to be $460,000 for the year, while direct labor hours are estimated to be 80,000, The Specialty" product requires $5 in direct materials per unit and I direct labor hour. A total of 20,000 units of the "Specialty" product were manufactured during the year.

Each batch, processed at a cost of $870, yields 645 gallons of plain yogurt. The company sells the one-gallon tubs for $6.00 each and spends $0.12 for each plastic tub. Organicplus has recently begun to reconsider its strategy. Management wonders if it would be more profitable to sell individual-sized portions of fruited organic yogurt at local food stores. Organicplus could further process each batch of plain yogurt into 13,760 individual portions (3/4 cup each) of fruited yogurt. A recent market analysis indicates that demand for the product exists. Organicplus would sell each individual portion for $0.52. Packaging would cost $0.06 per portion, and fruit would cost $0.10 per portion. Fixed costs would not change. Should Organicplus continue to sell only the gallon-sized plain yogurt (sell as is) or convert the…arrow_forwardGiven the information below, fill in the chart.
