Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Note: As this question contains tables, here I cannot insert table properly, so I have done it on excel spreadsheet and it is attached in the attachment below. Please refer to the attachment below for the minimum cost production plan.
Please refer to Attachment.
Priority should be given in the order mentioned below.
1. Maintain maximum capacity output even though demand is lower for the period because demand for the next period is higher and inventory holding costs are only $1 per unit per period.
2. Over time output for remaining demand, including demand for the following year, since it is less costly than subcontract production and inventory keeping costs are just $1 per unit per period.
3. There is no obligation for output to be subcontracted.
Ответ:
A (5,250) sold at split-off
B 22,625 continue
C (10,400) sold at split-off
Explanation:
Result for further processing:
quantity ( further process price - raw price) less further processing cost
Product A
13,800 pounds x (29.5 - 24) - 81,150 = (5,250)
Product B
21,500 pounds (24.50 - 18) - 117,125 = 22,625
Product C
5,000 gallon ( 38.5 - 30) - 52,900 = (10,400)
We must understand that the join processing cost are already incurred (sunk) therefore, not relevant. We hould check if the further process increases or not the gross profit.
As B is the only which increase the gross profit we continue the processing. THe other product based on our cost structure are not viable
