The depreciation charges are for machines used in the respective product lines. The power charge
is apportioned based on the estimate of power consumed. The rent is for the building space which
has been leased for 10 years at P140,000 per year. The rent and heat and light are apportioned to
the product lines baesd on amount of floor space occupied. All other costs are current expenses
identified with the product line incurring them. A valued custom parts customer has asked Mr.
Syjuco to manufacture 5,000 special units for him. Mr. Syjuco is working at capacity and would
have to give up some other business to take this business. He cannot renege on custom orders
already agreed to but he could reduce the output of his standard product by about one-half for one
year while producing the specially requested custom part. The customer is willing to pay P140 for
each part. The material cost will be about P40 per unit and the labor will be P72 per unit. Mr.
Syjuco will have to spend P40,000 for a special device which will be discarded when the job is
done.
a. What is the incremental cost of the special order of 5,000 units?
b. What is the full cost of the special order?
c. How much is the opportunity cost of taking the special order?
d. What is the effect on the overall profit if the special order is accepted?

Problem 3 (5 pts.)
Bergamit Company manufactures veterinary products. One joint process involves refining a
chemical (dactylyte) into two chemicals − dac and tyl. One batch of 10,000 gallons of dactylyte
can be converted to 4,000 gallons of dac and 6,000 gallons of tyl at a total joint processing cost of
P15,000. At the split-off point, dac can be sold for P5 per gallon and tyl can be sold for P7 per
gallon. Bergamit has just learned of a new process to convert dac into prodac. The new process
costs P5,000 and yields 2,500 gallons of prodac for every 3,000 gallons of dac. Prodac sells for P6
per gallon.
What is Bergamit's profit from refining one batch of dactylyte if both dac and tyl are sold at the
split-off point?
