Kirk Minerals processes materials extracted from mines. The most common raw material that it processes results in three joint pr

oducts: Spock, Uhura, and Sulu. Each of these products can be sold as is, or each can be processed further and sold for a higher price.
The company incurs joint costs of $180,000 to process one batch of the raw material that produces the three joint products. The following cost and sales information is available for one batch of each product.
Sales Value at Split-Off Point Allocated Joint Costs Cost to Process Further Sales Value of Processed Product
Spock $210,000 $40,000 $110,000 $300,000
Uhura 300,000 60,000 85,000 400,000
Sulu 455,000 80,000 250,000 800,000

Answer:

The incremental profits/losses are:

Spock = -$20,000 loss

Uhura = $15,000 gain

Sulu = $95,000 gain

Explanation:

Spock: A, Uhura: B, and Sulu: C

joint production costs = $180,000

   Sales Value at     Allocated Joint      Cost to Process      Sales Value of

   Split-Off Point      Costs                      Further                    Processed Prod.

A  $210,000             $40,000                 $110,000                 $300,000

B  $300,000            $60,000                 $85,000                 $400,000

C  $455,000            $80,000                 $250,000               $800,000

If Spock (A) is sold at split-off point, it will generate $170,000 (= $210,000 - $40,000) in profits. But if it is processed further, it will generate $150,000 (= $300,000 - $150,000) in profits. It should be sold at split-off point.

If Uhura (B) is sold at split-off point, it will generate $240,000 (= $300,000 - $60,000) in profits. But if it is processed further, it will generate $255,000 (= $400,000 - $145,000) in profits. It should be sold after being processed further.

If Sulu (C is sold at split-off point, it will generate $375,000 (= $455,000 - $80,000) in profits. But if it is processed further, it will generate $470,000 (= $800,000 - $330,000) in profits. It should be sold after being processed further.

The incremental profits/losses are:

Spock = profit after processing - profit at split off = $150,000 - $170,000 = -$20,000

Uhura = profit after processing - profit at split off = $255,000 - $240,000 = $15,000

Sulu = profit after processing - profit at split off = $470,000 - $375,000 = $95,000

Answer:

Spock

Incremental Profit or Loss = -$20,000 --- Loss

Uhura;

Incremental Profit or Loss = $15,000 ---Profit

For Sulu;

Incremental Profit or Loss = $95,000 ---Profit

Explanation:

Given

Sales Value at Split-Off Point Allocated Joint Costs Cost to Process Further Sales Value of Processed Product

Spock $210,000 $40,000 $110,000 $300,000

Uhura 300,000 60,000 85,000 400,000

Sulu 455,000 80,000 250,000 800,000

Calculating the incremental profit or loss that each of the three joint products.

Incremental Profit or Loss is calculated by subtracting profit under processing from the current profits.

i.e.

Incremental Profit or Loss = Profit under processing - Current Profit

Currect profits is calculated as

Sales value at split-off point- allocated joint costs

Profit under processing is calculated as

Sales value of processed product- allocated joint cost - further processing cost

For Spock;

Current Profit = $210,000 - $40,000 = $170,000

Profit Under Processing = $300,000 - $40,000 - $110,000 = $150,000

Incremental Profit or Loss = $150,000 - $170,000

Incremental Profit or Loss = -$20,000 --- Loss

For Uhura;

Current Profit = $300,000 - $60,000 = $240,000

Profit Under Processing = $400,000 - $60,000 - $85,000 = $255,000

Incremental Profit or Loss = $255,000 - $240,000

Incremental Profit or Loss = $15,000 ---Profit

For Sulu;

Current Profit = $455,000 - $80,000 = $375,000

Profit Under Processing = $800,000 - $80,000 - $250,000 = $470,000

Incremental Profit or Loss = $470,000 - $375,000

Incremental Profit or Loss = $95,000 ---Profit

If a player chooses a mixed strategy in a Nash equilibrium, this implies that the payoff from using that mixed strategy is the s
son4ous [18]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

The concept of "Nash equilibrium" is been by economist and also by "gamers" in game theory. Nash equilibrium is so good for making decisions and the determination of strategies.

In playing this game, the players or participants can use the pure strategy or the mixed strategy. The mixed strategy is the use of different strategies randomly.

"If a player chooses a mixed strategy in a Nash equilibrium, this implies that the payoff from using that mixed strategy is the same as the payoff from using any of the pure strategies in it".

The statement given above is FALSE because the PAYOFF WILL INCREASE IF WE ARE TO PLAY A MIXED STRATEGY.

For instance if we have a head of 1 and -1, and a tail of -1 and 1, the payoff for pure strategy is likely one or minus one but for a mixed strategy it could be zero.

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

d. 2.24%

Explanation:

total annual sales = $3,600,000

fixed asset turnover = total sales / fixed assets = 4, that means that total fixed assets = $3,600,000 / 4 = $900,000

debt = 50% = $450,000

equity = 50% = $450,000

EBIT = $150,000

net income = $150,000 x (1 - 40%) = $90,000

restricted policy:

asset turnover = 2.5

sales = $3,600,000 x (1 - 15%) = $3,060,000

EBIT = $135,000

net income = $81,000

assets = $3,060,000 / 2.5 = $1,224,000

equity = $1,224,000 x 50% = $612,000

ROE = $81,000 / $612,000 = 13.24%

relaxed policy:

asset turnover = 2.2

EBIT = $150,000

net income = $90,000

assets = $3,600,000 / 2.2 = $1,636,364

equity = 50% x $1,636,364 = $818,182

ROE = $90,000 / $818,182 = 11%

difference between ROEs = 13.24% - 11% = 2.24%
