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>.

what percentage of loss would a seller in deerfield beach have if he paid $18,000 for a vacant lot, built a home on the lot that
den301095 [7]

Add the cost of the lot and the cost of the house together to get the total cost ($163,000). Next, subtract the sales price from the total cost to get the amount of loss ($10,000) he took. Finally, divide the total cost by the loss amount ($10,000 ÷ $163,000).

The definition of cost is to be valued at something or to lose. A loaf of bread costing $3 is an example of a cost. Giving up your freedom in order to grant freedom to another person is an illustration of the cost.

A company's cost is the amount of money it had to spend to create its goods or services. It is calculated as the sum that the business spends to create a specific number of a product. Simply put, it is the cash that a business spends on things like labour, services, raw materials, and other costs.

The annual carrying cost for a consumer product is $115, the ordering cost is $1,150, and the annual demand is estimated to be 1
STatiana [176]

Answer:

Store should take the advantage of discount.

Explanation:

Economic order quantity is the level of units ordered which minimize the total cost.

The economic order quantity (EOQ) is computed by applying the following formula

EOQ = [ ( 2DO ) / H ]^1/2

where D = Annual Demand in units = 1,000

S = Setup or ordering cost = $1,150

H = Holding or carrying cost per unit, per year = $115

EOQ = [ ( 2 x 1,000 x $1,150 ) / $115 ]^1/2

EOQ = [ $2,300,000 / $115 ]^1/2

EOQ = 20,000^1/2

EOQ = 141.42 units

Cost of EOQ

Purchasing cost =  1,000 x $810 = $810,000

Ordering cost = (1,000 / 141.42) x $1,150 = $8,132

Carrying cost = ( 141.42 / 2 ) x $115 = $8,132

Total cost = $810,000 + $8,132 + $8,132 = $826,264

Cost of Discount

Purchasing cost =  1,000 x $810 x 80% = $648,000

Ordering cost = (1,000 / 151) x $1,150 = $7,616

Carrying cost = ( 151 / 2 ) x $115 = $8,683

Total cost = $648,000 + $7,616 + $8,683 = $664,299

Store should take the advantage of discount because it incurs lower cost.

Suppose a company owns a warehouse that costs $500,000 and depreciates at $10,000 per year. If the interest rate is 5%, what is
netineya [11]

Answer: $35,000

Explanation:

Implicit rental price = Interest payment + Depreciation

Interest payment = 5% * 500,000

= $25,000

Implicit rental price is therefore:

= 25,000 + 10,000

= $35,000

You save $5,000.00 and invest 60% of it in stocks while leaving the rest in a savings account earning a 4.9% APR. The stock incr
LiRa [457]
Amount invested in stocks 5,000 X 0.60 = 3,000

After one year gains 9%
3,000 X ( 1 + 0.09) = 3,270

After second year loses 4%
3,270 X ( 1 - 0.04) = 3,139.2 amount after second year

So Stocks gained 139.2 ( 3139.2 - 3000)

Amount of saving account
5,000 X 0.40 = 2,000

After 2 years
2,200 X ( 1 + 0.049)^(2) = 2,200.802

So gained 200.802 (2200.802 - 2000)

Total amount after 2 years
3,139.2 + 2,200.802 = 5,340.002

Gained 340.002 (5340.002 -5000)
