QUESTION 1 25 MARKS Walvis Caterer Limited purchases raw fish from Ocean Fish Company and processes it further into fish fillets and fish fingers. The process can be described as follows: The raw fish is purchased from the Ocean Fish Company, after which it is cleaned first. During the cleaning process, the head, tail and scales are removed. It is normal that during the cleaning process a loss of 10% occurs. 80% of the 10% of this loss is in the form of waste that can be sold at a price of N$2 per kilogram. After the fish has been cleaned, it goes to the cutting process, where the fish is removed from the spine and cut into fillets. The fillets are already cut into the correct size. The fillets are then ready to be sold. Three-quarters of the output is in the form of fish fillets. The other quarter of the output of the cutting process, namely the spine and off-cuts are sent to the fish finger department. Here the spine and off-cuts are cooked to remove it from the bone. The cooked fish are then used to manufacture the fish fingers, covering it in bread crumbs. The bones are then sent to a separate process to manufacture fish meal. The fish meal is regarded as a by-product. The bones amount to 5% of the weight received in the fish finger department.
