DONT RESPOND TO THE QUESTION IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DO IT. I WILL ONLY GIVE A THUMBS UP IF YOU RESPOND TO EVERYTHING ASKED THAT IS INCORRECT AND IT IS RIGHT XYM Chemicals Company processes a number of chemical compounds used in producing industrial cleaning products. One compound is decomposed into two chemicals: anderine and dofinol. The cost of processing one batch of compound is $77,500, and the result is 6,000 gallons of anderine and 7,800 gallons of dofinol. XYM Chemicals can sell the anderine at split-off for $11.00 per gallon and the dofinol for $5.85 per gallon. Alternatively, the anderine can be processed further at a cost of $7.40 per gallon (of anderine) into cermine. It takes 3 gallons of anderine for every gallon of cermine. A gallon of cermine sells for $64.

2. What if the production of anderine into cermine required additional purchasing and quality inspection activity? Every 450 gallons of anderine that undergo further processing require 22 more purchase orders at $8 each and 13 more quality inspection hours at $27 each. Which alternative would be better and by how much? NOTE: Round interim calculations and your final answer to the nearest cent. by $ X
