Thornton Chicken Corporation processes and packages chicken for grocery stores. It purchases chickens from farmers and processes

them into two different products: chicken drumsticks and chicken steak. From a standard batch of 17,000 pounds of raw chicken that costs $9,400, the company produces two parts: 4,000 pounds of drumsticks and 5,000 pounds of breast for a processing cost of $6,868. The chicken breast is further processed into 4,200 pounds of steak for a processing cost of $3,000. The market price of drumsticks per pound is $1.65 and the market price per pound of chicken steak is $5.00. If Thornton decided to sell chicken breast instead of chicken steak, the price per pound would be $2.60. Required a-1. Allocate the joint cost to the joint products, drumsticks and breasts, using weight as the allocation base. a-2. Calculate the gross margin for each product. a-3. If the drumsticks are producing a loss, should that product line be eliminated? b-1. Reallocate the joint cost to the joint products, drumsticks and breasts, using relative market values as the allocation base. b-2. Calculate the gross margin for each product. c-1. Should Martin further process chicken breasts into chicken steak? (Use the assumption made in requirement b-1). c-2. How would the profit be affected by your answer in c-1?

Answer:

Chicken drumsticks:

pounds 6,600 -  7,230.22 = -630,22‬

market value: 6,600 - 5,478 = 1,122

Breast:

pounds 13,000 -  9037,88 =       3,962.12

market value: 13,000 - 10.790 = 2,210.00

Changing the allocation method detemriantes whether the drumstick are profitable or not thus, it should be considered which method is better suited.

Explanation:

Joint cost:

9,400 mateirals + 6,868 processing Total =

pounds to allocate cost:

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}Product&Sales&Weight&Cost\\Drumstick&4000&0.44&7230.22\\Breast&5000&0.56&9037.8\\\\Total&9000&1&16268\\\end{array}\right]

using market value:

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}Product&Sales&Weight&Cost\\Drumstick&6600&0.3367&5478\\Breast&13000&0.6633&10790\\\\Total&19600&1&16268\\\end{array}\right]

Then, we calcualte the gross margin under each method

Chicken drumsticks:

pounds 6,600 -  7,230.22 = -630,22‬

market value: 6,600 - 5,478 = 1,122

Breast:

pounds 13,000 -  9037,88 =       3,962.12

market value: 13,000 - 10.790 = 2,210.00

Answer:

In 2022, Cullumber should record interest expense of $57,057.80.

Explanation:

The interest expense can be calculated using the following formula:

Interest expense = (Present value of lease payments - Annual payments at the beginning of each year) * Effective interest rate .................... (1)

Where:

Annual payments at the beginning of each year = $180,000

Present value of lease payments = $750,578

Effective interest rate = 10%

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Interest expense = ($750,578 - $180,000) * 10% = $57,057.80

Therefore, Cullumber should record interest expense of $57,057.80 in 2022.

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Giving the following information:

Production:

Direct material $45,000

Direct labor 30,000

Factory overhead (30 % is variable ) 98,000

Buy:

Total cost= $100,000

<u>I will assume that none of the fixed overhead avoidable. Therefore, we will take into account only the variable overhead.</u>

Total variable production cost= 45,000 + 30,000 + (98,000*0.3)

Total variable production cost= $104,400

It is cheaper to buy the product.

The current price for a good is ​$25​, and 100 units are demanded at that price. The price elasticity of demand for the good is
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Consumer surplus increases by $2

Explanation:

The consumer surplus can be defined as the benefit that consumers gain when they pay less for a good that they are willing to pay more for.

a). Determine the final demand as follows;

Price elasticity of demand=% change in price/% change in demand

where;

price elasticity of demand=-1

% change in price={(Final price-initial price)/initial price}×100

Final price=$24

initial price=$25

% change in price=(24-25)/25=(1/25)×100=-4%

% change in demand=x

replacing in the original expression;

-1=-4/x

x=4%

% change in quantity={final quantity-initial quantity/initial quantity}×100

let final quantity=y

4%={(y-100)/100}×100

0.04=(y-100)/100

4=y-100

y=4+100=104

final quantity=104 units

Consumer surplus=(1/2)×change in price×change in quantity

where;

change in price=25-24=1

change in quantity=104-100=4

Consumer surplus=(1/2)×1×4=2

Consumer surplus increases by $2
