$1,400 respectively. Show impact of these changes on each of the scenarios provided.

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.

*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.

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?

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.
