bell or Process Further, Basic Analysis Carleigh, 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: Direct materials Direct labor Overhead $89,000 25,000 20,500 The revenues from each product are as follows: sirloin roasts, $70,500; chops, $79,500; spare ribs, $32,000; and residual, $8,000. Carleigh's 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 $52,200. This would bring the value of the rewdual down to $2,150. In addition, the organ meats would need to be packaged and then air freighted to Asis. Further processing cost per week is estimated to be $25,900 (the cost of renting additional packaging equipment, purchasing matenals, and hiring additional drect labor). Transportation cost would be $10,900 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 $2,900 per week Required: 1. What is the gross profit earned by the original mox of products for one week? 2. Should the company separate the organ meats for shipment overseas or continue to sell them at sple-off? What is the effect of the decision on weekly gross profit? Check My Work by s Previous Next
