Case on Job-Order Costing and Pricing Decisions Nutratask, Inc., is a pharmaceutical manufacturer of amino-acid-chelated minerals and vitamin supplements. The company was founded in 1974 and is capable of performing all manufacturing functions, including packaging and laboratory functions. Currently, the company markets its products in the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, and Belgium Mineral chelation enhances the mineral's availability to the body, making the mineral a more effective supplement. Most of the cheiates supplied by Nutratask are in powder form, but the company has the capability to make tablets or capsules The production of all chelates follows a similar pattern. Upon receiving an order, the company's chemist prepares a load sheet (a bill of materials that specifies the product, the theoretical yield, and the quantities of materials that should be used). Once the load sheet is received by production, the materials are requisitioned and sent to the blending room. The chemicals and minerals are added in the order specified and blended together for two to eight hours, depending on the product. Aloer blanding, the mix is put on long trays and sent to the drying room, where it is allowed to dry until the moisture content is 7 to 9 percent. Drying time for most products is from one to three days. After the product is dry, several small samples are taken and sent to a laboratory to be checked for bacterial level and to determine whether the product meets customer specifications. If the product is not fit for human consumption or if it fails to meet customer specifications, additional materials are added under the direction of the chemist to bring the product up to standard. Once the product passes inspection, it is ground into a powder of different meshes (partides) according to customer specifications. The powder is the placed in heavy cardboard drums and shipped to the customer or, if requested put in tablet or capsule form and then shipped). Since each order is customized to meet the special needs of its customers, Nutratask uses a job-order costing system.
