Betram Chemicals Company processes a number of chemical compounds used in producing industrial cleaning products. One compound i

s decomposed into two chemicals: anderine and dofinol. The cost of processing one batch of compound is $73,000, and the result is 5,600 gallons of anderine and 7,600 gallons of dofinol. Betram Chemicals can sell the anderine at split-off for $13.00 per gallon and the dofinol for $7.45 per gallon. Alternatively, the anderine can be processed further at a cost of $7.50 per gallon (of anderine) into cermine. It takes 2 gallons of anderine for every gallon of cermine. A gallon of cermine sells for $65.
Required:
1. List the relevant benefits and costs for each alternative.
2. Which alternative is more cost effective and by how much?
3. What if the production of anderine into cermine required additional purchasing and quality inspection activity? Every 500 gallons of anderine that undergo further processing required 20 more purchase orders at $10 each and 15 more quality inspection hours at $25 each. Which alternative would be better and by how much?

Answer:

Betram Chemicals Company

1. Relevant benefits and costs for each alternative:

                             Sale at split-off         Sale after

                                                       further processing

Revenue                   $129,420            $238,620

Joint Costs                   73,000                 73,000

Cost for further processing -                   42,000

Gross profit               $56,420             $123,620

Additional profit         $0                       $67,200

2. Further processing of Anderine is more cost-effective by $67,200.

3. Further processing of Anderine is still better by $60,760.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                   Anderine     Dofinol      Cermine   Total Costs

Gallons                         5,600          7,600       $73,000     $73,000

Selling price per gal.  $13.00          $7.45

Sales revenue           $72,800     $56,620                        $129,420

Gross profit                                                                          $56,420

Further processing                                         $42,000

Total costs of production                              $115,000      $115,000

Output                      (5,600)            7,600         2,800

Selling price per gallon                    $7.45         $65

Sales revenue                              $56,620     $182,000 $238,620

Gross profit                                                                        $123,620

Profit from further processing:

Gross profit with further processing  $123,620

Gross profit before further processing 56,420

Additional profit                                   $67,200

1. Relevant benefits and costs for each alternative:

                             Sale at split-off         Sale after

                                                       further processing

Revenue                   $129,420            $238,620

Joint Costs                   73,000                 73,000

Cost for further processing -                   42,000

Gross profit               $56,420             $123,620

Additional profit         $0                       $67,200 ($123,620 - $56,420)

What if:

Purchasing order cost (5,600/500 * 20 * $10) = $2,240

Quality inspection cost (5,600/500 * 15 * $25) = $4,200

Additional costs = $6,440

Reduced additional profit = $60,760 ($67,200 - $6,440)

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

(1) Pe =0.3Pm + 0.15 Pa

Pm = 0.7Pe + 0.2 Pm + 0.3 Pa

Pa = 0.3 Pe + 0.5Pm +0.55 Pa

(2) The free variable Pa = 100

Explanation:

Solution

We create a table of outputs using the given percentages economy distribution

Energy         Manufacturing       agriculture     Purchased by

0                       0.3                       0.15                 energy

0.7                    0.2                       0.3                  manufacturing

0.3                    0.5                       0.55                Agriculture

Let Pe Pm, Pa represent the prices for each sector

We then create an income equation using the expenses of the table above

Now,

Pe =0.3Pm + 0.15 Pa

Pm = 0.7Pe + 0.2 Pm + 0.3 Pa

Pa = 0.3 Pe + 0.5Pm +0.55 Pa

Demmert Manufacturing incurred the following expenditures during the current fiscal year: annual maintenance on its equipment, $
ladessa [460]

Answer:

Annual maintenance on its equipment = Expensed

Remodelling of offices = Capitalised and depreciated.

Rearrangement of the shipping and receiving area = Capitalised and depreciated.

Addition of a security system = Capitalised and depreciated.

Explanation:

Annual maintenance on its equipment = $5,400  ( This is a normal maintenance bill and can be entirely expensed in the year it occurs.)

Remodelling of offices = $22,000 ( This is a part of the transformation process and should be capitalised and depreciated accordingly.)

Rearrangement of the shipping and receiving area = $35,000 (Since this is a reorganisation that would increase efficiency, it should be capitalised and depreciated.)

Addition of a security system = $25,000 ( Since this is an addition of asset, it should be capitalised and depreciated.)

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

     a. 5 years

     b. Yes they will because the payback period is 5 years.

Explanation:

a. Payback period

First calculate the annual cash inflow:

= Net income + Depreciation

= 66,500 + 28,500

= $95,000

The investment cost was $475,000

Payback period = Investment cost / Annual cash inflow

= 475,000 / 95,000

= 5 years

b. The company will purchase the games because they have a payback period of 5 years.

(01.02 mc) which of these actions was an economic cause of increased tensions between the north and south?
Damm [24]

The correct option is (b) Protective tariffs

Protective tariffs aim to make imported goods more expensive while protecting domestic producers from overseas rivalry.

  • An illustration of a protective tariff would be the US raising the customs charge on clothing imported from Britain so that it is significantly more expensive than clothing made domestically.
  • The importing countries profit the most from tariffs since they design the policy and receive the cash.
  • The main advantage of tariffs is that they generate income from imported products and services. Tariffs may also serve as a springboard for negotiations between two countries.
  • Protective tariffs are designed to shield vital American industries from international competition, stop foreign manufacturers from dumping inexpensive goods in the US, or both.
