Respuesta :

Answer:

Farrugia Corporation

a. The amount made from processing one batch of the common input into the end products X and Y:

$2 ($95 - $93)

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Intermediate products = A and B

Intermediate product A processed into end product X

Intermediate product B processed into end product Y.

Cost of purchase of common input = $36

Cost of processing a batch to produce intermediate products A and B = $15

Further processing of product A into X will cost = $14

Further processing of product B into Y will cost $28

Sales price of X = $32

Sales price of Y = $64

Total price for X and Y = $95

Total cost for X and Y:

Purchase of a batch =             $36

Cost of batch processing =       15

Cost of further processing A:   14

Cost of further processing B:  28

Total cost =                             $93

The company makes $2 ($95 - $93) from processing one batch of the common input into the end products X and Y.
