Zytel Corporation produces cleaning compounds and solutions for industrial and household use. While most of its products are pro

cessed independently, a few are related. Grit 337, a coarse cleaning powder with many industrial uses, costs $2.20 a pound to make and sells for $3.40 a pound. A small portion of the annual production of this product is retained for further processing in the Mixing Department, where it is combined with several other ingredients to form a paste, which is marketed as a silver polish selling for $5.60 per jar. This further processing requires 1/4 pound of Grit 337 per jar. Costs of other ingredients, labor, and variable overhead associated with this further processing amount to $2.40 per jar. Variable selling costs are $0.40 per jar. If the decision were made to cease production of the silver polish, $8,800 of Mixing Department fixed costs could be avoided. Zytel has limited production capacity for Grit 337, but unlimited demand for the cleaning powder.
Required:1. Calculate the minimum number of jars of silver polish that would have to be sold to justify further processing of Grit 337. (Round your intermediate calculation to 2 decimal places and final answer to the nearest whole number.)

Answer:

4,513 approx.

Explanation:

The computation of the minimum number of jars of silver polish is shown below:-

Sales revenue for one jar of silver polish    $5.60

Sales revenue for 1/4 pound of Grit 337     0.85

($3.40 ×  1 ÷ 4)

Incremental revenue from

further processing                                        $4.75

($5.60 - 0.85)

Incremental costs of further processing:

Processing costs                      $2.40

Selling costs                              $0.40          $2.80

Incremental contribution

margin from further

processing into silver polish

per jar                                                            $1.95

($4.75 - $2.80)

Point of indifference denotes the point where all options are equally profitable. But after that we will see that more processing is profitable. This is due to the fixed costs involved in further production.

Thus Minimum number of jars needed to produce to justify the further processing = Avoidable Fixed cost ÷ Incremental contribution

= $8,800 ÷ $1.95

= 4,513 approx.

Answer:

The correct answer is Direct order.

Explanation:

Many times a day we receive and give orders. When we entrust a specific function to our employee or subordinate, how do we do it? By giving a direct order to execute it or we use what we call delegation. Through the delegation, we entrust this employee not only to do what has been communicated to him, but also to take responsibility from start to finish, reporting once the order has been executed to whoever has given it.

For a perfectly competitive firm, which of the following is not true at profit maximization?a. Total revenue minus total cost is
topjm [15]

Answer: Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Correct option: Market price is greater than marginal cost.

In a perfectly competitive market, there are large number of buyers and sellers. So, price is determined by the market forces.

At a point of profit maximization, price is equal to the marginal cost and we have to maximize the difference of the total revenue and total cost. It was not seen in a perfectly competitive market that the price is above the marginal cost at a profit maximizing point.

Therefore, option (d) is not true.
