(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 ($7.95 per pound) $ 7.95
Less joint costs incurred up to the split-off point where
T-bone steak can be identified as a separate product 3.80
Profit per pound $ 4.15
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 costs $0.55 to further process one T-bone steak into the filet mignon and New York cuts. The filet mignon can be sold for $12.00 per pound, and the New York cut can be sold for $8.80 per pound.

Required:

1. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of further processing one T-bone steak into filet mignon and New York cut steaks?

2. Would you recommend that the T-bone steaks be sold as initially cut or processed further?

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

1 Pound T-bone:

Selling price ($7.95 per pound) $ 7.95

Joint costs= $3.80

Profit per pound $ 4.15

Further process:

It costs $0.55 to further process one T-bone steak.

6-ounce filet mignon and one 8-ounce New York cut.

The filet mignon can be sold for $12.00 per pound, and the New York cut can be sold for $8.80 per pound.

A) Filet mignon: $12.00 pound

1 ounce= 16 ounce

0.375= 6 ounce

Price= 0.375*12= $4.5

New York cut= $8.80 a pound

Price= 0.5*8.80= $4.4

Sales= 4.5+4.4= $8.9

Costs= 3.80 + 0.55= 4.35

Profit= $4.55

B) It is more profitable to further process the T-bone stake by $0.40.

Complete Question:

The Southern Corporation manufactures a single product and has the following cost structure: Variable costs per unit: Production $ 35 Selling and administrative $ 14 Fixed costs per year: Production $ 175,560 Selling and administrative $ 140,450 Last year, 7,980 units were produced and 7,680 units were sold. There was no beginning inventory. The carrying value on the balance sheet of the ending inventory of finished goods under variable costing would be:

Multiple Choice

$6,600 less than under absorption costing.

$7,680 less than under absorption costing.

the same as absorption costing.

$7,680 greater than under absorption costing.

Answer:

The Southern Corporation

The carrying value on the balance sheet of the ending inventory of finished goods under variable costing would be:

$6,600 less than under absorption costing.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Variable costs per unit:

Production $ 35

Selling and administrative $ 14

Fixed costs per year:

Production $ 175,560

Selling and administrative $ 140,450

Production units last year = 7,980 units

Sales units last year = 7,680 units

Ending inventory = 300 (7,980 - 7,680) units

Value of Ending inventory:

1. Variable Costing:

Production $ 35 * 300 = $10,500

2. Absorption Costing:

Variable Production $ 35 * 7,980 = $279,300

Fixed Production overhead             $ 175,560

Total production costs =                  $454,860

Units produced = 7,980

Unit cost = $57

Ending inventory = $17,100 ($57 * 300)

Difference = $6,600 ($17,100 - $10,500)
