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)

Suppose there are 100 consumers in the computer speaker market, each with an identical demand curve given by Qi = 10 – 0.1P, whe
Mkey [24]

Answer:

Equilibrium Price = 40 ; Equilibrium Quantity = 600

Explanation:

Equilibrium is where : Market Quantity Demanded =  Market Quantity Supplied

Market Quantity Demanded = No. of Consumers x Individual Demand Curve

= N x Qi = 100 [10 - 0.1P] = 1000 - 10P  

Market Quantity Supplied = Qs [Given]  

So, Equilibrium is where :

1000 - 10P = 20 P - 200

1000 + 200 = 20P + 10P

1200 = 30P

P = 1200 / 30 = 40 [Equilibrium Price]

Equilibrium Quantity : Putting Equilibrium price value in Quantity demanded & quantity supplied;

Quantity Demanded = 1000 - 10 (40) = 1000 - 400 = 600

Quantity Supplied = 20 (40) - 200 = 800 - 200 = 600

The chart gives prices and output information for the country of Utopia. Use this information to calculate real and nominal GDP
Mrac [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

The chart below gives prices and output information for the country of Utopia. Use this information to calculate real and nominal GDP for both years. Use 2017 as the base year.

Year                 2016             2017  

                      Price      Quantity Price Quantity  

Ice Cream $7.00        600      $3.00 400

Blue Jeans $70.00          20       $20.00   90

Laptops       $300.00            5       $300.00     5

2016 nominal GDP = $_(7 x 600) + (70 x 20) + (300 x 5)_ =  $7,100

2017 nominal GDP = $_(3 x 400)+(20 x 90) + (300 x 5)_  = $4,500

2016 real GDP = $__(7100-4500)/ 4500)) / change in ice cream price of 50%+ change in blue jean price of (70-20/20) 250%_______

= 0.57/3 = 0.19% growth. Technically the economy was better in 2016 than in 2017.

2017 real GDP = will be same as nominal, hence no growth  since this is the base year
