Answer:
The required workers will be 48
Explanation:
The first step will be calcualte the rate of production per hour:
Rate: 150,000 / (50 wk x 10/wk x 7.5hr/shift) = 150,000/3750 = 40
Then the amount it takes to do a single unit:
Cicle: 60 minutes per hours x 0.95 efficiency / 40 units per hour:
1.425 minutes per unit
Then we include repositioning:
1.425 - repositioning: 8/60 = 1,291666666666667 min
The actual workers needed will be:
working time / balancing efficient x net cycle
58 minutes per worker / 0.93 (1,291666666666667) = 48

The following information pertains to Alpha Computing at the end of 2015:
Assets $980,000
Liabilities $437,500
Net Income $242,500
Common Stock $395,000
Alpha Computing's Retained Earnings account had a zero balance at the beginning of 2015.
What amount of dividends did the company pay in 2015?
Answer:
The amount of dividends the company paid in 2015 is $95000.
Explanation:
Dividends is paid from the net income of the company and the net income includes retained earnings balance at the end of each financial year.
Assers = stockholders equity(stock + retained earnings) + liabilities
$980,000 = $395,000 + retained earnings + $437,500
retained earnings = $147500
net income = dividends + retained earnings
dividends = net income - retained earnings
= $242,500 - $147500
= $95000
Therefore, the amount of dividends the company paid in 2015 is $95000.
The APB partnership agreement specifies that partnership net income be allocated as follows:

Salary allowance 30000 10000 40000
Interest on average
capital balance 10% 10% 10%
Remainder 40% 40% 20%
Average capital balances for the current year were $50,000 for A, $30,000 for P, and $20,000 for B.
19. Refer to the information given. Assuming a current year net income of $50,000, what amount should be allocated to each partner?
Partner A Partner P Partner B
A) 20000 20000 10000
B) 16000 16000 8000
C) 19000 (3000) 34000
D) 17000 0 33000
A. Option A
B. Option B
C. Option C
D. Option D
Answer:
C) 19000 (3000) 34000
Explanation:
income: 50,000
salaries (80,000) (sum of partner salaries)
interest (10,000) (total capital 100,000 x 10% interest )
net loss (40,000)
Partner A
50,000 + 30,000 salary + 5,000 interest - 16,000 loss share(40%) = 69,000
It woulld be allocate: 69,000 - 50,000 = 19,000
Partner B
30,000 + 10,000 salary + 3,000 interest - 16,000 loss share(40%) = 27,000
27,000 - 30,000 = -3,000
Partner C
20,000 + 40,000 salary + 2,000 interest - 8,000 loss share(20%) = 54,000
54,000 - 20,000 = 34,000
The allocation of net income among the partners would be $42,000 for Partner A, $20,000 for Partner P and $45,500 for Partner B. None of the provided options matches the correct allocation.
Explanation:The question revolves around how to allocate partnership income based on the provided percentage allocations and capital balances. The three elements of the partnership agreement that impact the allocation of net income are salary allowance, interest on average capital balance, and the remainder percentage.
For Partner A, the allocation would be: Salary ($30,000) + 10% interest on the capital balance ($50,000 * 10% = $5,000) + 40% of the remainder of net income [($50,000 net income - $70,000 total salary allowance - $10,000 total capital balance interest) * 40% = $7,000], which sums up to $42,000.
Similarly, for Partner P, the allocation would be: Salary ($10,000) + 10% interest on capital balance ($30,000 * 10%= $3,000) + 40% of the remainder of net income [($50,000 net income - $70,000 total salary allowance - $10,000 total capital balance interest) * 40% = $7,000], which sums up to $20,000.
Lastly, for Partner B, the allocation would be: Salary ($40,000) + 10% interest on capital balance ($20,000 * 10% = $2,000) + 20% of the remaining net income [($50,000 net income - $70,000 total salary allowance - $10,000 total capital balance interest) * 20% = $3,500], which sums up to $45,500.
So, none of the options match the accurate allocation of net income.

Robinson Manufacturing found the following information in its accounting records: $ 519 comma 800 of direct materials used, $ 226 comma 700 of direct labor, and $ 775 comma 800 of manufacturing overhead. The Work in Process Inventory account had a beginning balance of $ 72 comma 400 and an ending balance of $ 87 comma 600. Compute the company's Cost of Goods Manufactured.
Answer:
Cost of good manufactured= $1507100
Explanation:
To calculate the cost of manufactured goods we need to use the following formula:
Cost of good manufactured= Beginning work in progress+ direct materials of the period + direct labor + manufactured overhead - ending work in progress
Beginning work in progress= 72400
Direct materials = beginning inventory + purchase - ending inventory= 519800
Direct labor= 226700
Manufactured overhead= 775800
Ending work in progress= 87600
Cost of good manufactured= 72400 + 519800 + 226700 + 775800 - 87600= $1507100
The accountant for Healthy Life Company, a medical services consulting firm, mistakenly omitted adjusting entries for (a) unearned revenue earned during the year ($34,900) and (b) accrued wages ($12,770). If the net income for the current year had been $196,400, what would have been the correct net income if the proper adjusting entries had been made?
Answer:
The correct net income is $218,530
Explanation:
The computation of the correct net income is shown below:
= Current year net income + unearned revenue earned - accrued wages
= $196,400 + $34,900 - $12,770
= $218,530
The unearned revenue earned should be added in the net income whereas the accrued wages is an expense which should be deducted in the net income
Talbot Enterprises recently reported an EBITDA of $7.5 million and net income of $1.875 million. It had $1.95 million of interest expense, and its corporate tax rate was 40%. What was its charge for depreciation and amortization? Enter your answer in dollars. For example, an answer of $1.2 million should be entered as 1,200,000. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
Answer:
The charge for depreciation and amortization= $2425000
Explanation:
Giving the following information we need to calculate the charge for depreciation and amortization:
EBITDA= 7500000
Net Income= 1875000
Interest= 1950000
t=0,40
We know that:
EBITDA
depreciation and amortization (-)
=EBITD
Interest (-)
Other Expenses (-)
=EBT (Pre-Tax Income)
Income Taxes (-)
=Net Income
We have to calculate the amount of Taxes:
Tax= [Net income/(1-t)]-Net profit= (1875000/0,60)-1875000=1250000
EBIT=Net income+Tax+Interest= 1875000+1250000+1950000=5075000
D&A=EBITDA-EBIT=7500000-5075000= $2425000
House of Pianos, Inc., purchases pianos from a well-known manufacturer and sells them at the retail level. The pianos sell, on the average, for $3,300 each. The average cost of an piano from the manufacturer is $1,492. The costs that the company incurs in a typical month are presented below: Costs Cost Formula Selling: Advertising ......................................... $955 per month Delivery of pianos ............................... $61 per piano sold Sales salaries and commissions............. $4,823 per month, plus 4% of sales Utilities ............................................... $633 per month Depreciation of sales facilities .............. $4,944 per month Administrative: Executive salaries ................................ $13,490 per month Depreciation of office equipment .......... $943 per month Clerical ............................................... $2,499 per month, plus $37 per piano sold Insurance ........................................... $719 per month During November, the company sold and delivered 60 pianos. Required: 1. Prepare a traditional income statement for September. 2. Prepare a contribution format income statement for September. Show costs and revenues on both a total and a per unit basis down through contribution margin. 3. Refer to the income statement you prepared in (2) above. Why might it be misleading to show the fixed costs on a per unit basis?
Answer:
Sales = Units of pianos sold × Price of each piano
= 60 × $3,300
= $198,000
Cost of Goods Sold = Average cost of each piano × Units of pianos sold
= $1,492 × 60
= $89,520
Gross profit on sales = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold
= $198,000 - $89,520
= $108,480
Total selling expenses:
= Advertising + Delivery + Sales salaries + Commissions + Utilities + Depreciation
= $955 + ($61 × 60) + $4,823 + (198,000 x 4%) + $633 + $4,944
= $955 + 3,660 + $4,823 + $7,920 + $633 + $4,944
= $22,935
Total Admin Expenses:
= Executive salaries + Depreciation + Clerical + Additional clerical expense + Insurance
= $13,490 + $943 + $2,499 + (37 × 60) + $719
= $19,871
Operating Income:
= Gross profit on sales - Total selling expenses - Total Admin Expenses
= $108,480 - $22,935 - $19,871
= $65,674
Final answer:
The answer provides a traditional and contribution format income statement for House of Pianos, Inc. in September, and explains why showing fixed costs on a per unit basis can be misleading.
Explanation:
House of Pianos, Inc. Traditional Income Statement for September:
Total Sales: $198,000
Total Cost of Goods Sold: $89,520
Total Selling and Administrative Expenses: $24,454
Contribution Format Income Statement for September:
Contribution Margin: $57,360
Fixed Costs: $25,782
Net Income: $31,578
Showing fixed costs on a per unit basis can be misleading because fixed costs remain constant regardless of the number of units produced or sold. Therefore, as the number of units produced increases, fixed costs spread out over more units, reducing the fixed cost per unit.

8. Cost of electricity to run the X-ray machines - DC
Where,
SC - Sunk cost
DC - Differential cost
OC - Opportunity cost
The decision to replace an old X-ray machine with a new one involves analyzing various costs: sunk costs for the existing equipment, differential costs for the new machine and its operation, and the opportunity cost of choosing this investment over a DNA analyzer.
When considering the decision to replace an old X-ray machine with a new digital X-ray machine at Northwest Hospital, it is important to evaluate certain costs associated with the change. Here is a breakdown of these costs:
1. SC: Cost of the old X-ray machine - This is a sunk cost because it has already been incurred and cannot be recovered.2. NA: The salary of the head of the Radiology Department - This is generally considered a fixed cost and not directly affected by the decision to replace the X-ray machine.3. NA: The salary of the head of the Pediatrics Department - This is not relevant to the decision as it does not directly affect the cost of operating or replacing the X-ray machine.4. DC: Cost of the new laser printer - This is a differential cost as it is a new cost that would be incurred only if the new X-ray machine is purchased.5. NA: Rent on the space occupied by Radiology - This is most likely a fixed cost and not a differential cost associated with the decision.6. DC: The cost of maintaining the old machine - This is a differential cost, as it would be eliminated if the new machine is purchased.7. OC: Benefits from a new DNA analyzer - This represents an opportunity cost, as the hospital would forgo the potential benefits of the DNA analyzer by choosing to invest in the new X-ray machine instead.8. DC: Cost of electricity to run the X-ray machines - This would be a differential cost because the new machine is expected to use less power.Understanding these costs is important as they impact the overall cost accounting and financial planning for the hospital. Managers need to assess differential, sunk, and opportunity costs to make informed decisions on capital investments, such as upgrading to state-of-the-art digital X-ray equipment or purchasing a new DNA analyzer.
Focus on the difference between feasible alternatives (Principle 2LOADING...)! Insulated concrete forms (ICF) can be used as a substitute for conventional wood framing in building construction. Heating and cooling bills will be about 6060% less than in a similar wood-framed building in upstate New York. An ICF home will be approximately 1010% more expensive to construct than a wood-framed home. For a typical 1 comma 8001,800 ftsquared2 home costing $130130 ftsquared2 to construct in upstate New York and costing $260260 per month to heat and cool, how many months does it take for a 1 comma 8001,800 ftsquared2 ICF home to pay back its extra construction cost?
Answer:
It will need 176 months (almost 15 years) to payback without considering the time value of money
Explanation:
cost of a typical construction:
1,800 square feet x $130 per square fet = $234,000
the ICF is 10% more expensive:
$34,000 x 1.10 = $257,400
additional cost: $27,400
then the heat cost is $260 and it will be 60% less :
$260 - 60% =$260 x( 1 - 0.6) = $104
savigns $260 - $104 = $156
we now divide the additional cost over the saving per month.
$27,400 / 156 saving per month = 175,641025 = 176 months
Final answer:
The payback period for an ICF home compared to a wood-framed home can be calculated using the monthly savings in heating and cooling costs and the extra construction cost. In this case, it takes approximately 9 days for a 1,800 ft² ICF home to pay back its extra construction cost.
Explanation:
The question is asking how many months it takes for a 1,800 ft² ICF home to pay back its extra construction cost compared to a wood-framed home. With an ICF home, the heating and cooling bills are 60% less than a wood-framed home.
However, the ICF home is 10% more expensive to construct.
To calculate the payback period, we need to compare the monthly savings in heating and cooling costs to the extra construction cost.
For a wood-framed home costing $130 per ft² to construct and $260 per month to heat and cool, the monthly savings for an ICF home would be (60/100) * $260 = $156.
The extra construction cost for the ICF home would be (10/100) * $130 = $13.
Therefore, the payback period would be $13 / $156 = 0.083 months, or approximately 9 days.
In the initial Cournot duopoly equilibrium, both firms have constant marginal costs, m, and no fixed costs, and there is a barrier to entry. Show what happens to the best-response function of firms if both firms now face a fixed cost of F Let market demand be p-a -bQ, where a and b are positive parameters with 2 firms. Let q1 and q2 be the amount produced by firm 1 and firm 2, respectively. Assuming it is optimal for the firm one to produce, its best-response function is I. (Properly format your expression using the tools in the palette. Hover over tools to see keyboard shortcuts. Eg., a subscript can be created with the- q1 = character.)
Answer:
The best response functions are given by
[tex]q_1=\frac{a-m}{2b}-\frac{q_2}{2}[/tex]
[tex]q_2=\frac{a-m}{2b}-\frac{q_1}{2}[/tex]
Explanation:
Under no fixed costs the total costs is
[tex]CT_i= mq_i[/tex]
for i=1,2. The market demand is given by
[tex]p=a-bQ[/tex]
where [tex]Q=q_1+q_2[/tex] is the total production
Firm 1 and 2 will maximize its own profits. Since this firms are symmetric the problems are too
[tex]max\,\Pi_1=p=(a-b(q_1+q_2))q_1-mq_1[/tex]
The first order conditions (take derivative of the profit with respect to [tex]q_1[/tex] are given by
[tex]a-2 b q_1-b q_2-m=0[/tex]
Then the best-response function for Firm 1 will be
[tex]q_1=\frac{a-m}{2b}-\frac{q_2}{2}[/tex]
and the solution for Firm 2 would be the symmetric
[tex]q_2=\frac{a-m}{2b}-\frac{q_1}{2}[/tex]
Now we can add fixed costs, so total costs now look
[tex]CT_i= F+mq_i[/tex] for i=1,2
the profit maximization problem for firm 1 looks now
[tex]max\,\Pi_1=p=(a-b(q_1+q_2))q_1-F-mq_1[/tex]
The first order conditions are given by
[tex]a-2 b q_1-b q_2-m=0[/tex]
note that this equation is the same as in the absence of Fixed Costs. So the solutions would be the same. Fixed costs don't change the optimal level of production of these firms.
Note that Total Costs are given by fixed costs (F) and marginal costs (m) that depend on the production level of the firm
[tex]CT_i=F+mq_i[/tex]
for i=1,2. The market demand is given by
[tex]p=a-bQ[/tex]
where [tex]Q=q_1+q_2[/tex] is the total production, so it's the sum of each firms production
Firm 1 will maximize it's own profits
[tex]max\,\Pi_1=p=(a-b(q_1+q_2))q_1-F-mq_1[/tex]
The first order conditions (take derivative of the profit with respect to [tex]q_1[/tex] are given by
[tex]a-2 b q_1-b q_2-m=0[/tex]
Then the best-response function for Firm 1 will be
[tex]q_1=\frac{a-m}{2b}-\frac{q_2}{2}[/tex]
and the solution for Firm 2 would be symmetric.
Note that only marginal costs are relevant for getting the best-response function, so adding fixed costs (F) don't change the results

Which of the following statements is true of foreign direct investment?
a. It is the act of buying an ownership stake within a country that provides capital.
b. It is the process of investing in, controlling, and managing value-added activities in other countries.
c. It is the process of tracking an index or measuring of a foreign market.
d. It is the act of investing in a foreign-owned company within a country.
Answer: Option B
Explanation: Foreign direct investment can be defined as a situation in which a company invest in a country other than its home country. In such a case, the company starts a new setup in the new country with the same business operation.
For example an automobile company of Germany opening their car showrooms in america.
Thus, from the above we can conclude that the correct option is B.
The correct definition for foreign direct investment is the process of investing in, controlling, and managing value-added activities in other countries.
Explanation:The correct statement about foreign direct investment is: 'It is the process of investing in, controlling, and managing value-added activities in other countries'. This statement (option b) accurately describes foreign direct investment (FDI). FDI refers to an investment made by an entity based in one country into an entity or corporation based in another country. Essentially, the investor purchases business assets in the foreign country, not just shares. Therefore, the investor has significant control over the company into which the investment is made.
Options a, c, and d are not completely correct. Although buying an ownership stake (option a) and investing in a foreign-owned company (option d) can be part of FDI, they do not fully define it. Tracking an index or measure of a foreign market (option c) describes a type of portfolio investment, not FDI.

A unique feature of partnerships (compared with publicly owned corporations) is that ______________________ .
A)They do not have to follow GAAP.
B)They are not governed by state laws.
C)Their books have to be maintained on the tax basis.
D)They do not file income tax returns.
E)None of the above.
Final answer:
In partnerships, each partner pays taxes on their share of the income, unlike corporations where the business itself is taxed. Option E) None of the above is the correct answer, as none of the provided options (A through D) describe this distinctive feature.
Explanation:
The unique feature of partnerships compared with publicly owned corporations is that each partner pays taxes on their share of the income; the business itself does not have to pay taxes. Partnerships are governed by state laws, and must generally adhere to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), although there can be differences in reporting when it comes to tax purposes. Unlike corporations, which are taxed at the corporate level and then again at the shareholder level when dividends are paid (double taxation), partnerships pass through the income to the partners who then report it on their individual tax returns.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question is none of the options (A through D) directly describe the unique feature of partnerships, so the correct choice is E) None of the above.
LeBlanc Company had the following department data:Physical UnitsWork in process, July 1 18,000Completed and transferred out 81,000Work in process, July 31 27,000Materials are added at the beginning of the process. What is the total number ofequivalent units for materials in July?
Answer:
FIFO 90,000
W/A 108,000
Explanation:
There are two method for process costying FIFO and Weighted Average (WA) as there is no indication we will do both:
The difference is that FIFO discriminate bwetween started and completed units and completed units. therefore, the complete beginning inventory is subtracted.
As the materials are added at the beginning of the period then both, beginning and ending are at 100%
completed units 81,000
ending WIP 27,000
beginning WIP (18,000)
equivalent units FIFO 90,000
complete units 81,000
ending WIP 27,000
equivalent untis Weighted average 108,000
The total number of equivalent units for materials in July is 108,000 units.
To determine the total number of equivalent units for materials in July for LeBlanc Company, we need to consider the process described in the given data. Here's a step-by-step method to calculate it:
Physical Units Calculation: Before Conversion
Units in Work in Process, July 1: 18,000 units
Units Completed and Transferred Out: 81,000 units
Units in Work in Process, July 31: 27,000 units
Materials Addition
Since materials are added at the beginning of the process, all units in work in process at the end of the period (July 31) will have 100% of the materials added.
Total Equivalent Units for Materials
To find the total equivalent units for materials, we add the units completed during the month to the units in the ending work in process (WIP), because they all have materials added:
{Total Equivalent Units for Materials} ={Units Completed and Transferred Out} + {Ending WIP}
{Total Equivalent Units for Materials} = 81,000 { units} + 27,000{ units}
Therefore, the total number of equivalent units for materials in July is 108,000 units.

Further Explanation:
Income Tax: It is the additional charge on an individual’s income which he/she needs to pay to the government. The taxable income is calculated by adding all the incomes and deducting all the deductions which an individual can claim on his/her income.
Compute the total amount of deductions available for Marc and Michelle:
Total Deduction Available
= Higher of Standard Deduction for MJF and Itemized Deduction + Personal and Dependency Exemptions
= Higher of $12600 and $6000 + $12150 ($4050×3)
= $12600 + $12150
=$24750.
Therefore, the total deductions available to Marc and Michelle are $24750.
Gross Income of Marc and Michelle
= Salary of Marc + Salary of Michelle + Interest Earned on Corporate Bonds
= $64000 + $12000 + 500
= $76500.
Total Taxable Income of Marc and Michelle
= Gross Income – Qualified Moving Expenses – Alimony Paid – Total Deductions
= $76500 - $2500 - $1500 - $$24750
= $47750.
Therefore, the total taxable income of Marc and Michelle is $47750.

In the JK partnership, Jacob's capital is $140,000, and Katy's is $40,000. They share income in a 3:2 ratio, respectively. They decide to admit Erin to the partnership. Each of the following questions is independent of the others.
Refer to the information provided above. Erin invests $50,000 for a one-fifth interest in the total capital of $230,000. The journal entry to record Erin's admission into the partnership would include
A. a debit to Jacob, Capital for $2,400.
B. a credit to Erin, Capital for $50,000.
C. a credit to Katy, Capital for $1,600.
D. a credit to Cash for $50,000.
Answer:
C. a credit to Katy, Capital for $1,600.
Explanation:
In the given instance, it is provided that Erin is admitted for 1/5th share, for which he brings $50,000
Now, for a total of $230,000 share
1/5 = $230,000 [tex]\times[/tex] 1/5 = $46,000
Since Erin brings $50,000, that means there is goodwill worth $50,000 - $46,000 = $4,000
Now, as Erin brings cash of $50,000, cash will be debited by same.
For recording goodwill, Both old partners account will be credited.
$4,000 [tex]\times[/tex] 3/5 = $2,400 for Jacob
$4,000 [tex]\times[/tex] 2/5 = $1,600 for Katy.
Therefore, as old partner's account have to be credited, correct entry is
Katy's Capital account for $1,600.
The journal entries to record Erin's admission into the partnership include a credit to Erin, Capital for $50,000, reflecting the increase in her equity, and a credit to Cash for $50,000, indicating the increase in the partnership's cash account.
Explanation:The correct answer to this question is option B: a credit to Erin, Capital for $50,000, and D: a credit to Cash for $50,000. When Erin is admitted into the partnership, she invests a capital of $50,000. This amount is reflected in the journal entry by crediting Erin, Capital, indicating an increase in her equity in the partnership. Simultaneously, the cash account of the partnership also increases by $50,000 due to Erin's investment. Therefore, this is recorded as a credit to Cash. The other options are irrelevant as there is nothing in the given scenario to suggest any changes in Jacob's and Katy's capital at this instance.

Wexpro, Inc., produces several products from processing 1 ton of clypton, a rare mineral. Material and processing costs total $60,000 per ton, one-fourth of which is allocated to product X15. Seven thousand units of product X15 are produced from each ton of clypton. The units can either be sold at the split-off point for $9 each, or processed further at a total cost of $9,500 and then sold for $12 each. Required: 1. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of further processing product X15? 2. Should product X15 be processed further or sold at the split-off point?
Answer:
Wexpro, Inc. gains $11500 (59500-48000) by processing further X15. It is a financial advantage to compete with a more complex product. X15 should be processed further.
Explanation:
Wexpro, Inc., produces several products from processing 1 ton of clypton, a rare mineral.
Material and processing costs total $60,000 per ton, one-fourth of which is allocated to product X15.
60000*0,25=$15000
Seven thousand units of product X15 are produced from each ton of clypton. The units can be sold at the split-off point for $9 each.
Sales before split-off point:
Sales 7000u*$9= $63000
Material and processing cost= $15000
Total=$48000
The units can be processed further at a total cost of $9,500 and then sold for $12 each.
Sales after split-off point:
Sales= 7000*12=$84000
Split-off cost= $9500
Material and processing cost= $15000
Total= $59500
Wexpro, Inc. gains $11500 (59500-48000) by processing further X15. It is a financial advantage to compete with a more complex product. X15 should be processed further.
The financial advantage of further processing product X15 is $21,000. Since this advantage is greater than the additional processing cost of $9,500, it is financially beneficial to continue processing X15 beyond the split-off point.
Explanation:We can begin by calculating the cost of product X15 at the split-off point. Since one-fourth of the total cost of $60,000 is allocated to product X15, the cost allocated to this product is $15,000 ($60,000 / 4). This produces 7,000 units, so the cost per unit at the split-off point is $2.14 ($15,000 / 7,000).
Now, let's consider further processing. The additional cost of processing is $9,500 which gives a total cost accounted for unit X15 of $24,500 ($15,000+$9,500). The cost per unit after further processing is $3.50 ($24,500/7000).
The selling price per unit at the split-off point is $9, and when further processed, it is $12. So, the financial advantage (disadvantage) of further processing product X15 is the difference between the selling price of the units when further processed and the selling price at the split-off point. ($12 - $9) * 7000 items = $21,000 advantage.
In conclusion, the cost of further processing ($9,500) is less than the financial advantage ($21,000), product X15 should be processed further.
