Boney Corporation processes sugar beets that it purchases from farmers. Sugar beets are processed in batches. A batch of sugar b

eets costs $52 to buy from farmers and $11 to crush in the company's plant. Two intermediate products, beet fiber, and beet juice emerge from the crushing process. The beet fiber can be sold as is for $16 or processed further for $15 to make the end product industrial fiber that is sold for $64. The beet juice can be sold as is for $47 or processed further for $19 to make the end product refined sugar that is sold for $64.
What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company from processing one batch of sugar beets into the end products industrial fiber and refined sugar rather than not processing that batch at all?

Answer:

$31

Explanation:

The incremental revenue and cost is calculated as stated below to arrive at the financial advantage

                              Beet Fiber          Beet Juice

Un processesd        16                         47                         63

Processed                64                         64                       128

Cost of further         15                         19                          34

Processing

Financial advantage = Incremental revenue - incremental cost

= 128-(63+24)= 31

Financial advantage from further processing    $31

However , i will like to mention that the financial advantage could have increased by $2 if the Beet juice is not processed further as the incremental cost is more than incremental revenue

Answer

Financial advantage from further processing    $31

Explanation:

<em>A company should process further a product if the additional revenue from the split-off point is greater than than the further processing cost.  </em>

<em>Also note that all cost incurred up to the split-off point (the cost of crushing) are irrelevant to the decision to process further .  </em>

<em>                                                                                                     $</em>

Sales revenue after the split off point( 64+64)                       128

Sales revenue at the split-off point (16+47)                            <u> 63</u>

Additional sales revenue                                                          65

Further processing cost ( 15+19)                                              <u>(34 )</u>

<em>Net income after further processing                                        31</em>

Financial advantage from further processing    $31

Answer:

A Real risk-free rate differences.  

B Tax effects.  

C Default risk differences.  

D Maturity risk differences.  

E Inflation differences.  

The correct answer is option C,default risk differences.

Explanation:

Default risk is the increase in return given to an investor to compensate the investor for the likely losses that may arise due to the inability of the borrower to make funds available to the investor on the maturity date or even in required amount.

Different debt instruments have different default risk depending on their credit rating as rated by international rating agencies.Such rating is a function of many factors,which includes:

Balance sheet position

Profitability

Liquidity strength of the company

Macro-economic factors and some others.

Liquidity refers to the ability of the company to settle obligations such as repayment of bonds and interest  when due.

Invariably,liquidity has a higher impact in determining credit rating as well as default risk of an instrument.

A dressmaker can sew 400 garments with 100 bolts of fabric and 1,500 hours of labor. Another dressmaker can sew 400 garments wit
faust18 [17]

Answer:

No, because the second method has lower total costs of production.

Explanation:

In a bid to make profits businesses must always compare different processes and choose the cheapest one.

This will eventually reflect in the profitability of the business.

In this instance let's get the cost of each process.

Fabric costs $110 a bolt and labor costs $20 an hour.

The first dress maker can sew 400 garments with 100 bolts of fabric and 1,500 hours of labour

Total cost = (100 bolts * 110) + (1500 * 20)

Total cost = $41,000

For the second dress maker he can sew 400 garments with 150 bolts of fabric and 1,000 hours of identical labour

Total cost = (150 *110) + (1000 * 20)

Total cost = $36,500

As can be seen the second dressmaker has a lower cost of production so he is more efficient than the first dress maker
