Strawberry Sweet Company makes a variety of jams and jellies. During June, 55,000 gallons of strawberry mash was processed at a joint cost of $40,000. This produced 42,000 gallons of preserve-grade mix and 4,000 gallons of Strawberry juice for jelly. The juice could be processed further into energy drinks, and the preserve mix could be processed further into ice cream flavoring. Information on these items is shown:

- Brevall Industries makes corn oil and corn meal from harvested corn in a joint process. The corn oil can be further processed into margarine, and the corn meal can be further processed into corn muffin mix. The joint cost incurred to process the corn to the split-off point is $140,000. Information on the quantities, value, and further processing costs for the joint products appear below: Sales Value Estimated Further Sales Value Quantity At Split-off Processing Cost After Processing Corn Oil 800,000 lbs. $0.30/lb. $0.15/lb. $0.60/lb.

The total joint costs of $87,800 resulted in 3,000 gallons of vanilla, 3,300 gallons of strawberry, 1,900 gallons of chocolate, and 900 gallons of Neapolitan ice cream. Novak sells the vanilla ice cream for $2.00/gallon and sells each of the other three flavors for $2.50/gallon. How much of the joint cost will be allocated to each product if the sales value at split-off method is used?

- Taylor Company produces two industrial cleansers that use the same liquid chemical input: Pocolimpio and Maslimpio. Pocolimpio uses two quarts of the chemical for every unit produced, and Maslimpio uses five quarts. Currently, Taylor has 6,000 quarts of the material in inventory. All of the material is imported. For the coming year, Taylor plans to import 6,000 quarts to produce 1,000 units of Pocolimpio and 2,000 units of Maslimpio. The detail of each products unit contribution margin is as follows: Taylor Company has received word that the source of the material has been shut down by embargo. Consequently, the company will not be able to import the 6,000 quarts it planned to use in the coming years production. There is no other source of the material. Required: 1. Compute the total contribution margin that the company would earn if it could import the 6,000 quarts of the material. 2. Determine the optimal usage of the companys inventory of 6,000 quarts of the material. Compute the total contribution margin for the product mix that you recommend. 3. Assume that Pocolimpio uses three direct labor hours for every unit produced and that Maslimpio uses two hours. A total of 6,000 direct labor hours is available for the coming year. a. Formulate the linear programming problem faced by Taylor Company. To do so, you must derive mathematical expressions for the objective function and for the materials and labor constraints. b. Solve the linear programming problem using the graphical approach. c. Compute the total contribution margin produced by the optimal mix.arrow_forwardCarleigh, Inc., is a pork processor. Its plants, located in the Midwest, produce several products from a common process: sirloin roasts, chops, spare ribs, and the residual. The roasts, chops, and spare ribs are packaged, branded, and sold to supermarkets. The residual consists of organ meats and leftover pieces that are sold to sausage and hot dog processors. The joint costs for a typical week are as follows: The revenues from each product are as follows: sirloin roasts, 68,000; chops, 71,000; spare ribs, 33,000; and residual, 9,800. Carleighs management has learned that certain organ meats are a prized delicacy in Asia. They are considering separating those from the residual and selling them abroad for 52,000. This would bring the value of the residual down to 2,650. In addition, the organ meats would need to be packaged and then air freighted to Asia. Further processing cost per week is estimated to be 27,500 (the cost of renting additional packaging equipment, purchasing materials, and hiring additional direct labor). Transportation cost would be 12,100 per week. Finally, resource spending would need to be expanded for other activities as well (purchasing, receiving, and internal shipping). The increase in resource spending for these activities is estimated to be 3,120 per week. Required: 1. What is the gross profit earned by the original mix of products for one week? 2. Should the company separate the organ meats for shipment overseas or continue to sell them at split-off? What is the effect of the decision on weekly gross profit?arrow_forwardHal, Dal, & Stal Dairy Farmers, Inc., produces whole milk, 2% milk, and cream. The joint cost of producing these three products is $4,000. The split-off quantities of each product are 3,500 gallons of whole milk, 1,500 gallons of 2% milk, and 500 gallons of cream. The company can sell whole milk and cream at the split-off point, but 2% milk must be processed further before being sold. Whole milk and cream sell for $2.00 per gallon and $3.00 per gallon, respectively, at the split-off point. Although 2% milk requires further processing to be sold, management estimates a market value of $1.00 per gallon for 2% milk at the split-off point. Using the market value at split-off method, determine the amount of the total joint cost to be allocated to each product.arrow_forward
- Treaty Treat, Inc., purchases soybeans and processes them into the following three types of products: dog biscuits, cat food, and chicken feed. These products are the result of a joint process. In a typical month, there are total joint costs of $191,000. The dog biscuits and chicken feed are sold after being pressed into various shapes without further processing by TreatyTreat. (i.e. the fully- processed sales price is the same as the sales price at the point of split-off.) The cat food must be further mixed with vitamins. If the cat food spoils during the vitamin-adding process, the product can still be sold for fertilizer at $2.70 per unit. (Hint, this would be the sales value of the cat food at the split-off point.) The additional processing of cat food costs TreatyTreat $13,700 per month. Product yield and average sales value on a per-unit basis from the joint processes are as follows: Monthly Fully Processed Sales Price $9 Product Dog Biscuits Cat Food Chicken Feed Output 53,000…arrow_forwardFruity Delight produces two products – fruit juice and fruit pulp – from a joint process. The joint cost of production is $28, 000. 500 kg of fruit pulp can be sold at split-off for $5 per kg; or processed further at an additional cost of $7, 500 into 750.00 kg of jam and be sold for $8.00 per kg. 10, 000 litres of fruit juice can be sold at split-off for $2.70 per litre; or processed further at an additional cost of $3500.00 into 2000.00 litres of fruit juice concentrate and be sold for $30 per litre. What is the difference in profit if the company decides to process further fruit pulp instead of selling it at split-off? Please put a negative sign to indicate a decrease and round your answer to two decimal places if necessary. 2$arrow_forwardYour Corporation processes sugar beets in batches.
