Come-Clean Corporation produces a variety of cleaning compounds and solutions for both industrial and household use. While most of its products are processed independently, a few are related, such as the company's Grit 337 and its Sparkle silver polish.
Grit 337 is a coarse cleaning powder with many industrial uses. It costs $1.60 a pound to make, and it has a selling price of $3.20 a pound. A small portion of the annual production of Grit 337 is retained in the factory for further processing.
It is combined with several other ingredients to form a paste that is marketed as Sparkle silver polish. The silver polish sells for $4.00 per jar. This further processing requires one-fourth pound of Grit 337 per jar of silver polish. The additional direct costs involved in the processing of a jar of silver polish are :
Other ingredients $ 0.65
Direct labor $1.40
Total direct cost $2.05
Overhead costs associated with processing the silver polish are :
Variable manufacturing overhead cost 25% of direct labor cost
Fixed manufacturing overhead cost (per month) Production supervisor for $ 3,400
Depreciation of mixing equipment $1,400
The production supervisor has no duties other than to oversee production of the silver polish. The mixing equipment is special-purpose equipment acquired specifically to produce the silver polish. Its resale value is negligible and it does not wear out through use. Direct labor is a variable cost at Come-Clean Corporation.
Advertising costs for the silver polish total $2,600 per month
Variable selling costs associated with the silver polish are 5% of sales.
Due to a recent decline in the demand for silver polish, the company is wondering whether its continued production is advisable. The sales manager feels that it would be more profitable to sell all of the Grit 337 as a cleaning powder.
Required:
a. What is the incremental contribution margin per jar from further processing of Grit 337 into silver polish? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
b. What is the minimum number of jars of silver polish that must be sold each month to justify the continued processing of Grit 337 into silver polish? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

Ajustification for job training programs is that they improve worker productivity. suppose that you are asked to evaluate whether more job training makes workers more productive. however, rather than having data on individual workers, you have access to data on manufacturing firms in ohio. in particu- lar, for each firm, you have information on hours of job training per worker (training) and number of nondefective items produced per worker hour (output). (i) carefully state the ceteris paribus thought experiment underlying this policy question. (ii) does it seem likely that a firm’s decision to train its workers will be independent of worker characteristics? what are some of those measurable and unmeasurable worker characteristics? (iii) name a factor other than worker characteristics that can affect worker productivity. (iv) if you find a positive correlation between output and training, would you have convincingly established that job training makes workers more productive? explain.
