Healthy Eats produces three products from a single raw material. The total cost is $160,000 and the number of units for each product is as follows: Product A: 10,000 units Product B: 10,000 units Product C: 15,000 units Product A can be sold at the split-off point for $4 per unit, or it can be processed further at a cost of $25,000 and then sold for $10 per unit. Should product A be sold at the split-off point or processed further? Why?

Man OFort Inc. produces two different styles of door handles, standard and curved. The door handles go through a joint production molding process costing 29,000 per batch and producing 2,000 standard door handles and 1,000 curved door handles at the split-off point. Both door handles undergo additional production processes after the split-off point, but could be sold at that point: the standard style for 4 per door handle and the curved style for 2 per door handle. Determine the amount of joint production costs allocated to each style of door handle using the market value at split-off method.
Patz Company produces two types of machine parts: Part A and Part B, with unit contribution margins of 300 and 600, respectively. Assume initially that Patz can sell all that is produced of either component. Part A requires two hours of assembly, and B requires five hours of assembly. The firm has 300 assembly hours per week. Required: 1. Express the objective of maximizing the total contribution margin subject to the assembly-hour constraint. 2. Identify the optimal amount that should be produced of each machine part and the total contribution margin associated with this mix. 3. What if market conditions are such that Patz can sell at most 75 units of Part A and 60 units of Part B? Express the objective function with its associated constraints for this case and identify the optimal mix and its associated total contribution margin.
Products A and B are produced from a single raw material input. The raw material costs $90,000, from which 5,000 units of A and10,000 units of B can be produced each period. Product A can be sold at the split-off point for $2 per unit, or it can be processed further at a cost of $12,500 and then sold for $5 per unit. Product B can be sold at the split-off point for $8 per unit, or it can be processed further at a cost of $40,000 and then sold for $12 per unit. What is the total change in net income if both products are processed further?
Test Company produces two products from a common input: Product A and Product B. One batch of the common input yields 600 units of Product A and 200 units of Product B. The joint costs for one batch are $25,000. Product A can be sold at the split-off point for $80 per unit. Product B can be sold at the split-off point for $150 per unit. Alternatively, Product B can be processed into 120 units of Product C that will sell for $400 per unit. Additional process costs for one batch of Product C will be $5,500 Determine the increase (decrease) in income if Product B is processed further into Product C. Note: Give your answer using dollar signs and commas but not decimal points (cents) Give negative numbers in parentheses. Example: $12,345 or S(12,345)
Bexter Labs produces three products: A, B, and C. Bexter can sell up to 3000 units of product A, up to 2000 units of product B, and up to 2000 units of product C. Each unit of product C uses two units of A and three units of B and incurs $5 in processing costs. Products A and B are produced from either raw material 1 or raw material 2. It costs $6 to purchase and process one unit of raw material 1. Each processed unit of raw material 1 yields two units of A and three units of B. It costs $3 to purchase and process a unit of raw material 2. Each processed unit of raw material 2 yields one unit of A and two units of B. The unit prices for the products are A, $5; B, $4; C, $25. The quality levels of each product are: A, 8; B, 7; C, 6. The average quality level of the units sold must be at least 7. Determine how to maximize Bexter's profit

Products A, B, and C are produced from a single raw material input. The raw material costs $90,000, from which 5,000 units of A, 10,000 units of B, and 15,000 units of C can be produced each period. Product A can be sold at the split-off point for $2 per unit, or it can be processed further at a cost of $12,500 and then sold for $5 per unit. If Product A is processed further, what is the change in the company's overall net operating income? It the change is a decrease, enter your number with a – in front. Otherwise, just enter the number. ENTER YOUR ANSWER WITHOUT DOLLAR SIGNS OR OTHER DISCRIPTIONS.

The Freed Company produces three products, X, Y, Z, from a single raw material input. Product Y can be sold at the split-off point for total revenues of $50,000, or it can be processed further at a total cost of $16,000 and then sold for $68,000. Product Y: А. Should be sold at the split-off point, rather than processed further. В. Would increase the company's overall net operating income by $18,000 if processed further and then sold. С. Would increase the company's overall net operating income by $68,000 if processed further and then sold. D. Would increase the company's overall net operating income by $2,000 if processed further and then sold. Е. None of the above
