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

hem into two different products: chicken drumsticks and chicken steak. From a standard batch of 12,000 pounds of raw chicken that costs $7,000, the company produces two parts: 2,800 pounds of drumsticks and 4,200 pounds of breast for a processing cost of $2,450. The chicken breast is further processed into 3,200 pounds of steak for a processing cost of $2,000. The market price of drumsticks per pound is $1.25 and the market price per pound of chicken steak is $4.20. If Harper decided to sell chicken breast instead of chicken steak, the price per pound would be $2.20.

drumstink  2.596,15

breast  .853,85

gross margin

drumstink 903.85

breast    2,386.15

<em>Questions:</em>

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 profit for each product.

Explanation:

cost for the joint process:

7,000 raw materials + 2,450 conversion cost = 9,450

weights: 2,800 drumstiks  

           <u>   4,200 breast         </u>

total       7,000

drumstink 9,450 x 2,800/7,000  = 3780

breast  9,450 x 4,200/7,000  = 5670

gross margin

drumstink 2,800 * 1.25  - 3,780=  (280)

breast 4,200 * 2.20  - 5,670 =     3,570

<em>using market value as weight:</em>

drumstink 2,800 * 1.25  =  3,500

breast 4,200 * 2.20       = <u> 9,240 </u>

total sales value                12,740

drumstink 9,450 x 3,500/12,740  = 2.596,15

breast  9,450 x 9,240/12,740  = 6.853,85

gross margin

drumstink 3,500  - 2,596.15 = 903.85

breast 9,240  - 6,853.85 =   2,386.15

Mumz [18]

Answer:

Dell's Production After Adjustment will be 2,041 units

Explanation:

According to the given data we have that Dell forecast for sales is 1856 and there considering the 10% reserve first we would need to calculate the number of units after the reserve of 10% as follows:

10% reserve units=0.10×1856=185 units

Therefore, total required units=1,856+185

total required units=2,041 units

Dell's Production After Adjustment will be 2,041 units
