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?

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)

Why do employees who participate in planning change efforts tend to have more positive opinions about the change
dusya [7]

Answer:

This question is incomplete, the options are missing. The options are the following:

a) They have the opportunity to reject the proposed change.

b) They will have the opportunity to know more than others about the change.

c) They will be able to convince customers the change was the right thing to do.

d) They will feel a sense of ownership of planned change and are more likely to be on board.  

And the correct answer is the option D: They will feel a sense of ownership of planned change and are more likely to be on board.

Explanation:

To begin with, it will be more acceptable for an employee of a company or a member of a group to agree with a change if that person was involved in the planning of the change. That means that he will feel that he is part of the solution and therefore part of the team because his ideas were listened and maybe he contributed with something. That is why that members who participate in the planning of a change will always be more positive about the final outcome due to the fact that they were there during the process of deciding that outcome and that will make them feel integrity related to the work and to the team as well.

A company is considering building a new factory, which department is most likely going to be in charge of evaluating options to
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sunk, or past, costs are monies already spent or money that is already contracted to be spent. A decision on whether or not a new endeavor is started will have no effect on this cash flow, so sunk costs cannot be relevant.

For example, money that has been spent on market research for a new product or planning a new factory is already spent and isn’t coming back to the company, irrespective of whether the product is approved for manufacture or the factory is built.

Committed costs are costs that would be incurred in the future but they cannot be avoided because the company has already committed to them through another decision which has been made.
