Stinehelfer Beet Processors, Inc., processes sugar beets in batches. A batch of sugar beets costs $59 to buy from farmers and $2

1 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 $35 or processed further for $27 to make the end product industrial fiber that is sold for $47. The beet juice can be sold as is for $55 or processed further for $35 to make the end product refined sugar that is sold for $81. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company from processing the intermediate product beet juice into refined sugar rather than selling it as is?

Answer:

Financial disadvantage from further processing = $(9)

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>

                                                                                                  $

Sales revenue after crushing                                                55                          

Sales revenue at the split-off point                                        <u>81</u>

Additional sales revenue                                                       26

Further processing cost                                                        <u> (35)</u>

Net income after further processing                                     <u> (9) </u>

Financial disadvantage from further processing = $(9)

<em>Kindly note that the allocated joint costs( cost of sugar and crushing) are irrelevant. This implies that whether or not the intermediate products are processed further the joint costs are irrelevant to the decision to process the beet juice further</em>.

guapka [62]

Answer: $85,000

Explanation:

Drawings are debited/deducted from the Equity account to reflect that the owner's holdings in the business has reduced.

Profit is added to the Equity account in the form of Retained Earnings.

The closing Balance on Equity is;

Closing Balance = Opening Balance + Profit - Drawings

Profit = Closing Balance - Opening Balance + Drawings

Profit = 175,000 - 120,000 + 30,000

Profit = $85,000

Market failure implies that the market mechanism:_________.
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Leads the economy to the wrong mix of output

Explanation:

Market failure is the when there is an inefficient distribution of goods and services in the free market.

One of the types of market failure is externality

Externality is when the production or consumption activities of economic agents have effects on people not involved in the economic activity. Externality can either be positive or negative

A good has positive externality if the benefits to third parties not involved in production is greater than the cost. an example of an activity that generates positive externality is research and development. Due to the high cost of R & D, they are usually under-produced. Government can encourage the production of activities that generate positive externality by granting subsidies.

A good has negative externality if the costs to third parties not involved in production is greater than the benefits. an example of an activity that generates negative externality is pollution. Pollution can be generated at little or no cost, so they are usually overproduced. Government can discourage the production of activities that generate negative externality by taxation

Which are results of regulation in a mixed-market economy? Check all that apply.
solong [7]

<u>Answer:</u> Option 1 and Option 5

<u>Explanation:</u>

In mixed economies under the government regulation most of the production is done by private ownership. There is very little government intervention. The main aim of the government intervention is to make sure that the private business activities comply with the law of the country.

Another result of government regulation is to control the externalities created by these business structures. Government ensures there is no externality which affects the market as well as the people. Due to these regulations there is no advantages for producer or government. Also the markets cannot be controlled with these regulations in mixed market economy.
