(prepared from a situation suggested by professor john w. hardy.) lone star meat packers is a major processor of beef and other meat products. the company has a large amount of t-bone steak on hand, and it is trying to decide whether to sell the t-bone steaks as they are initially cut or to process them further into filet mignon and the new york cut. if the t-bone steaks are sold as initially cut, the company figures that a 1-pound t-bone steak would yield the following profit: selling price ($7.95 per pound) $ 7.95less joint costs incurred up to the split-off point wheret-bone steak can be identified as a separate product 3.80profit per pound $ 4.15if the company were to further process the t-bone steaks, then cutting one side of a t-bone steak provides the filet mignon and cutting the other side provides the new york cut. one 16-ounce t-bone steak cut in this way will yield one 6-ounce filet mignon and one 8-ounce new york cut; the remaining ounces are waste. it costs $0.55 to further process one t-bone steak into the filet mignon and new york cuts. the filet mignon can be sold for $12.00 per pound, and the new york cut can be sold for $8.80 per pound. what is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of further processing one t-bone steak into filet mignon and new york cut steaks?

The financial advantage (disadvantage) from further processing is $0.40.

Explanation:

Compute the financial advantage (disadvantage) of further processing of T-bone into filet mignon and New York cut steaks using the equation as shown below:

Financial advantage = Total sales from further processing −

Sale revenue lost of one T−bone −  Cost of further processing

=$8.90−$7.95−$0.55

=$0.40

Working Notes:

Compute the total sales from further processing using the equation as shown below:

Sales from further processing =  One Fileted Mignon +  New York Cut

=$4.50+$4.40

=$8.90

Hence, the total sale from further processing is $8.90.

Compute the Sales revenue from one fileted mignon after further processing using the equation as shown below:

One Fileted Migon = (Selling price per filet mignon×Yeild per ounce / Size of one T−bone steak )

=  $12×6 ounce  / 16 ounce

=$4.50

Hence, the sales revenue from one fileted mignon after further processing is $4.50.

Compute the Sales revenue from one New York cut after further processing using the equation as shown below:

New York cut = (Selling price per New York cut × Yeild per ounce  / Size of one T−bone steak )

= $8.8×8ounce  / 16 ounce  

=$4.40
