A. 30.08 per can EX 12-19 Process activity analysis Obj. The Brite Beverage Company bottles soft drinks into aluminum cans. The manufacturing pro- cess consists of three activities 1. Mixing water, sugar, and beverage concentrate are mixed. 2. Fillingi mixed beverage is filled into 12-ox. cans. 3. Packaging properly filled cans are boxed into cardboard "fridge packs." The activity costs associated with these activities for the period are as follows: Mixing $216.000 Filling 168.000 Packaging 96,000 Total $480,000 The activity costs do not include materials costs, which are isnored for this analysis. Each can is expected to contain 12 ounces of beverage. Thus, after being filled, each can is automatically weighed. If a can is too light, it is rejected, or "kicked from the filling line prior to being packaged. The primary cause of kicks is heat expansion With heat expansion, the beverage overflows during hilling, resulting in underweight cans. This process begins by mixing and filling 6,300,000 cans during the period, of which only 6,000,000 cans are actually packaged. Three hundred thousand cans are rejected due to un derweight kicks A process improvement team has determined that cooling the cans prior to filling them will reduce the amount of overflows due to expansion. After this improvement, the number of kicks is expected to decline from 300,000 cans to 63,000 cans, thus increasing the number of filled cins to 6,237.000 16,000,000 + (300,000 - 63,000) A. Determine the total activity cost per packaged can under present operations. B. Determine the amount of increased packaging activity costs from the expected improvements c. Determine the expected total activity cost per packaged can after improvements. (Round to three decimal places.) for service comnany Obj. 1.3
