Thompson Industrial Products Inc. (TIPI) is a diversified industrial-cleaner processing company. The company's Dargar plant produces two products: a table cleaner and a floor cleaner from a common set of chemical inputs (CDG). Each week 900,000 ounces of chemical input are processed at a cost of $210,000 into 600,000 ounces of floor cleaner and 300,000 ounces of table cleaner. The floor cleaner has no market value until it is converted into a polish with the trade name FloorShine. The additional processing costs for this conversion amount to $240,000. FloorShine sells at $20 per 30-ounce bottle. The table cleaner can be sold for $17 per 25-ounce bottle. However, the table cleaner can be converted into two other products by adding 300,000 ounces of another compound (TCP) to the 300,000 ounces of table cleaner. This joint process will yield 300,000 ounces each of table stain remover (TSR) and table polish (TP). The additional processing costs for this process amounts to $100,000. Both table products can be sold for $14 per $25-ounce bottle. The company decided not to process the table cleaner into TSR and TP based on the following analysis. Production in ounces Revenue Costs: CDG costs TCP costs Total costs Weekly gross profit Table Cleaner 300,000 $204,000 70000* 0 70,000 $134,000 Process Further Table Stain Table Remover (TSR) Polish (TP) 300,000 300,000 $168,000 $168,000 52,500 50,000 102,500 $65,500 52,500 50,000 102,500 $65,500 Total $336,000 105,000 ** 100,000 205,000 $131,000 *If table cleaner is not processed further, it is allocated 1/3 of the $210,000 of CDG cost, which is equal to 1/3 of the total physical output. ** If table cleaner is processed further, total physical output is 1,200,000 ounces. TSR and TP combined account for 50% of the total physical output and are each allocated 25% of the CDG cost. Instructions (a) Determine if management made the correct decision to not process the table cleaner further by doing the following. (1) Calculate the company's total weekly gross profit assuming the table cleaner is not processed further. (2) Calculate the company's total weekly gross profit assuming the table cleaner is processed further. (3) Compare the resulting net incomes and comment on management's decision. (b) Compare the resulting net incomes and comment on management's decision. NOTE: Enter a number in cells requesting a value; enter either a number or a formula in cells with a "?" . (a) Determine if management made the correct decision to not process the table cleaner further by doing the following. (1) Calculate the company's total weekly gross profit assuming the table cleaner is not processed further. Table Cleaner Not Processed Further Sales: FloorShine Table cleaner Total Revenue Costs: CDG Additional costs of FloorShine Total costs Gross profit (a) $400,000 204,000 $604,000 70,000 0 70,000 $534,000 Determine if management made the correct decision to not process the table cleaner further by doing the following. (2) Calculate the company's total weekly gross profit assuming the table cleaner is processed further. Table Cleaner Processed Further Sales: FloorShine Table Stain Remover Table Polish Total Revenue Costs: CDG Additional costs of FloorShine TCP Total costs Gross profit (a) $400,000 168,000 168,000 $736,000 105,000 240,000 100,000 445,000 $291,000 Determine if management made the correct decision to not process the table cleaner further by doing the following. (3) Compare the resulting net incomes and comment on management's decision. Response: From the above calculations, its evident that the management made the correct decision to not process the table cleaner further since the net income resulting when the table cleaner is not processed is much greater than when it would have been processed. The difference in net income = 534000-291000 =$243000 which is substantiallly large. (b) Compare the resulting net incomes and comment on management's decision. Incremental revenue Incremental costs Total Don't Process Table Cleaner Further $400,000 0 $400,000 Process Table Cleaner Further $160,000 205,000 ($45,000) Net Income Increase (Decrease) $560,000 205,000 $355,000 Response:the resulting net income when the table cleaner is not processed further is far much more that the when it would have been processed further. 1. After you have completed P7-3A, consider the following additional question. Assume that the selling price of the two table products after further processing changed to $13 for each 25-ounce bottle and the cost of TCP compound to further process changed to $120,000. How do these changes impact the decision to process or not process further? CD7 EXCEL Tutorial CURRENT DESIGNS Current Designs faces a number of important decisions that require incremental analysis. Consider each of the following situations independently. Situation 1 Recently, Mike Cichanowski, owner and CEO of Current Designs, received a phone call from the president of a brewing company. He was calling to inquire about the possibility of Current Designs producing "floating coolers" for a promotion his company was planning. These coolers resemble a kayak but are about one-third the size. They are used to float food and beverages while paddling down the river on a weekend leisure trip. The company would be interest in purchasing 100 coolers for the upcoming summer. It is willing to pay $250 per cooler. The brewing company would pick up the coolers upon completion of the order. Mike met with Diane Buswell, controller, to identify how much it would cost Current Designs to produce the coolers. After careful analysis, the following costs were identified. Direct materials Direct labor $80/unit $60/unit Variable overhead Fixed overhead $20/unit $1,000 Current Designs would be able to modify an existing mold to produce the coolers. The cost of these modifications would be approximately $2,000. Instructions (a) Prepare an incremental analysis to determine whether Current Designs should accept this special order to produce the coolers. (b) Discuss additonal factors that Mike and Diane should consider if Current Designs is currently operating at full capacity. Situation 2 Current Designs is always working to identify ways to increase efficiency while becoming more environmentally conscious. During a recent brainstorming session, one employee suggested to Diane Buswell, controller, that the company should consider replacing the current rotomold oven as a way to realize savings from reduced energy consumption. The oven operates on natural gas, using 17,000 therms of natural gas for an entire year. A new, energy-efficient rotomold oven would operate on 15,000 therms of natural gas for an entire year. After seeking out price quotes from a few suppliers, Diane determined that it would cost approximately $250,000 to purchase a new, energy-efficient rotomold oven. She determines that the expected useful life of the new oven would be 10 years, and it would have no salvage value at the end of its useful life. Current Designs would be able to sell the current oven for $10,000 Instructions (a) Prepare an incremental analysis to determine if Current Designs should purchase the new rotomold oven, assuming that the average price for natural gas over the next 10 years will be $0.65 per therm. (b) Diane is concerned that natural gas prices might increase at a faster rate over the next 10 years. If the company projects that the average natural gas price of the next 10 years could be as high as $0.85 per therm, discuss how that might change your conclusion in (a). Situation 3 One of Current Designs' competitive advantages is found in the ingenuity of its owners and CEO, Mike Cichanowski. His involvement in the design of kayak molds and production techniques has led to Current Designs being recognized as an industry leader in the design and production of kayaks. This ingenuity was evident in an improved design of one of the most important component of a kayak, the seat. The "Revolution Seating System" is one-of-a-kind, rotating axis seat that gives unmatched, full contact, under-leg support. It is quickly adjustable with a lever-lock system that allows for a customizable seat position that maximizes comfort for the rider. Having just designed the "Revolution Seating System", Current Designs must now decide whether to produce the seats internally or buy them from an outside supplier. The costs for Current Designs to produce the seats are as follows. Direct materials Variable overhead $20/unit $12/unit Direct labor Fixed overhead $15/unit $20,000 Current Designs will need to produce 3,000 seats this year; 25% of the fixed overhead will be avoided if the seats are purchased from an outside vendor. After soliciting prices from outside suppliers, the company determined that it will cost $50 to purchase a seat from an outside vendor. Instructions (a) Prepare an incremental analysis showing whether Current Designs should make or buy the "Revolution Seating System." (b) Would your answer in (a) change if the productive capacity released by not making the seats could be used to produce income of $20,000? NOTE: Enter a number in cells requesting a value; enter either a number or a formula in cells with a "?" . Situation 1 (a) Prepare an incremental analysis to determine whether Current Designs should accept this special order to produce the coolers. Net Income Reject Order Accept Order Increase (Decrease) Revenues $0 $25,000 $25,000 Costs 0 118,000 118,000 Net income $0 -$93,000 -$93,000 Response:The order should not be accepted since it would result into a huge lose (b) Discuss additonal factors that Mike and Diane should consider if Current Designs is currently operating at full capacity. Response: some of these factors may include, opportunities embedded in the project e.g. leasing the space for other uses, the technology used by the company since it affects the level of output as well as the cost of production Situation 2 (a) Prepare an incremental analysis to determine if Current Designs should purchase the new rotomold oven, assuming that the average price for natural gas over the next 10 years will be $0.65 per therm.

Total annual cost Make $161,000 Buy $165,000 Net Income Increase (Decrease) $4,000 Opportunity cost 20,000 0 20,000 $181,000 $165,000 $24,000 Total cost Response: if the purchase decision is taken, the income generated when the capacity is used for other activities becomes the opportunity cost of making the seats and thus this increases the total cost of making the seats making it a more expensive undertaking rather decision than to purchase from an outside vendor. After you have completed CD7, consider the following additional questions. 1. Assume in situation 1, the unit selling price changed to $195, fixed overhead changed to $1,800 and the cost of modifications changed to $3,000. Show the impact of these changes on decision to accept or reject the special order. 2. Assume in situation 2, the purchase price of the new oven changed to $100,000. Would this change the decision to retain or replace the oven? 3. Assume in situation 3, that the estimated number of seats to be produced changed to 3,500 and the cost to purchase one seat from an outside supplier changed to $55. Should Current Designs make or buy the seats? Glacier Company estimates that variable costs will be 62.5% of sales, and fixed cost will total $600,000. The selling price of the product is $4. Instructions (a) Prepare a CVP graph, assuming maxium sales of $3,200,000. (Note : Use $400,000 increments for sales and costs and 100,000 increments for units) (b) Compute the break-even point in (1) units and (2) dollars. c) Assuming actual sales are $2million, compute the margin of safety in (1) dollars and (2) as a ratio. Tanek Corp's sales slumpted badly in 2017. For the fist time in its history, it operated at a loss. The company's income statement showed the following results from selling 500,000 units of product: sales $2,500,000 , total costs and expenses $2,600,000, and net loss $100,000.
