1. Recognize and define the problem.
2. Identify alternatives as possible solutions to the problem, and eliminate alternatives that are not feasible.
3. Identify the predicted costs and benefits associated with each feasible alternative. Eliminate the costs and benefits that are not relevant to the decision.

4. Compare the relevant costs and benefits for each alternative, and then relate each alternative to the overall strategic goals of the firm and other important qualitative factors.
5. Select the alternative with the greatest benefit which also supports the organization’s strategic objectives.

Each year 25 percent of the harvest by an apple processor is small and odd-shaped. These apples cannot be sold in the normal distribution channels and have simply been dumped in the orchards for fertilizer. What should the firm do with these apples?
Step 1: Define the Problem
Tactical Decision MakingTactical Decision Making 1
18-6
Step 2: Identify Feasible Alternatives
1. Sell the apples to pig farmers.2. Bag the apples in five-pound bags and sell them to
local supermarkets as seconds.3. Rent a local canning facility and convert the
apples to applesauce.4. Rent a local canning facility and convert the
apples to pie filling.5. Continue with the current dumping practice.

Step 3: Predicting Costs and Benefits and Eliminating Irrelevant Costs
Labor and materials (bags and ties) for the bagging option would cost $0.05 per pound. A five-pound bag of apple could be sold for $1.30 to local supermarkets.
Making applesauce would cost $0.40 per pound for rent, labor, apples, cans, and other materials. It takes six pounds of apples to produce five, 16-ounce cans of applesauce. Each can sells for $0.78.

Step 4: Comparing Relevant Costs and Relating to Strategic Goals.
The bagging alternative costs $0.25 to produce a five-pound bag ($0.05 x 5 pounds). The revenue is $1.30 per bag, or $0.26 per pound. The net benefit is $0.21 per pound ($0.26 – $0.05).
The net benefit of converting the apples into applesauce is $0.25 per pound ($0.65 – $0.40).

Step 5: Select Best Alternative.
Since the apple producer is reluctant to follow a forward integration strategy, the bagging alternative should be chosen.

Relevant costs are future costs that differ across alternatives. A cost must not only
be a future cost but must also differ between alternatives.

Sunk costs are past costs.
Example: The original cost of a building is a sunk cost when you are trying to decide whether or not to sell the business five years later.

A company has five manufacturing engineers who supply a capacity of
10,000 engineering hours (2,000 hours each). The cost of this activity
capacity is $250,000, or $25 per hour. The firm expects to use 9,000 hours. If the firm decides to reject a special order requiring 500 hours, the cost of engineering would be
irrelevant.

The firm can purchase a component that will drop the
demand from engineering hours from 9,000 to 7,000. Since
engineering activity capacity is acquired in chunks of 2,000, the
company can lay off one engineer or reassign the
engineer to another plant.

Assumptions of C-V-P Analysis1. The analysis assumes a linear revenue function and a linear
cost function.
2. The analysis assumes that price, total fixed costs, and unit variable costs can be accurately identified and remain constant over the relevant range.
3. The analysis assumes that what is produced is sold.
4. For multiple-product analysis, the sales mix is assumed to be known.
5. The selling price and costs are assumed to be known with certainty.

Talmage Company produces a mechanical part used in one of its
engines. (Talmage produces engines for snowblowers.) An outside supplier has
offered to sell a part (Part 34B) for $4.75. The company normally produces 100,000
units of the part each year.

Special-Order Cost
Polarcreme, Inc., an ice-cream company, is operating at 80 percent of its 20 million half-gallon capacity.
A distributor from another geographically area offered to buy 2 million units of premium ice cream at $1.75 per unit. They have agreed to
provide their own label and pay transportation costs. This sale would
avoid a sales commission.

The nonunit-level variable costs will also be incurred, producing a total increment cost of $304,000 or $0.152 per unit (for an order of 2 million units). Revenue per unit of $1.75, less the unit-level variable cost ($1.45) plus
the nonunit-level variable cost ($0.152) provides a net benefit of $0.148 per unit.
Thus Polarcreme’s profit would increase by $296,000 ($0.148 x 2,000,000).

Joint products have common processes and costs of production up to a split-off point.
The point of separation is called the split-off point.
Assume that Delrio can sell hot sauce for $1.50 per bottle. Also, assume that additional processing costs amount to $1,000. The total revenue at split-off for
Grade A tomatoes are $400 ($0.40 x 1,000 pounds). If the Grade A tomatoes are processed into hot sauce, the
total revenues are $1,500 ($1.50 per bottle).
