Connecticut Chemical Company is a diversified chemical processing company. The firm manufactures swimming pool chemicals, chemicals for metal processing, specialized chemical compounds, and pesticides. Currently, the Noorwood plant is producing two derivatives, RNA-1 and RNA-2, from the chemical compound VDB development by the company's research labs. Each week, 1, 200,000 pounds of VDB are processed at accost of $246,000 into 800,000 pounds of RNA-1 and 400,000 pounds of RNA-2. The proportion of these two outputs cannot be altered, because this is a joint process. RNA-1 has no market value until it is converted into the pesticide with the trade name Fastkil. Processing RNA-1 into Fastkil costs $240,000. Fastkil wholesales at $50 per 100 pounds. RNA-2 is sold as is for $80 per hundred pounds. However, management has discovered that RNA-2 can be converted into two new products by adding 400,000 pounds of compound LST to the 400,000 pounds of RNA-2. This joint process would yield 400,000 pounds each of DMZ-3 and Pestrol, the two new products. The additional direct material and related processing costs of this joint process would be $120,000 DMZ-3 and Pestrol would each be sold for $57.50 per 100 pounds. The company's management has decided not to process RNA-2 further based on the analysis presented in the following schedule. *$82,000 is one-third of the $246,000 cost of processing VDB. When RNA-2 is not processed further, one-third of the final output is RNA-2 (400,000 out of a total of 1, 200,000 pounds) ***$123,000 is one-half of the $246,000 cost of processing VDB. When RNA-2 is processed further, one half of the final output consists of DMZ-3 and Pestrol. The final products then are 800,000 pounds of RNA-1, 400,000 pounds of DMZ-3, and 400,000 pounds of Pestrol. 1. Did management make the correct decision?
