P7-3A Determine if product should be sold or processed further. | |||||||||||||||
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. | |||||||||||||||
Process Further | |||||||||||||||
Table | Table Stain | Table | |||||||||||||

Revenue | $204,000 | $168,000 | $168,000 | $336,000 | |||||||||||

Weekly gross profit | $134,000 | $65,500 | $65,500 | $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. | |||||||||||||||

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?
I just need help with this last portion above ^^ Thank you!! | |||||||||||||||
