BYP 21-3 REAL-WORLD FOCUS
(a) The outer shell of the paintballs is made from a mixture that includes
water, sweeteners, food ingredients, and most importantly, gelatin. All
of the ingredients used to make paintballs are food grade, biodegradable
products. The “paint” filling inside a paintball is comprised of the same
inert ingredient used in cough syrup, as well as crayon wax.
After mixing the gelatin and other materials, the mixture is heated, and
then spread on rolling drums which create thin gelatin ribbons. Each of
the ribbons then passes over a rotating die. The dies are designed so
(b) Materials: water, sweeteners, food ingredients, gelatin, “cough syrup
material”, crayon wax, and food coloring.
Labor: People would be needed run the various machines.
Overhead: Depreciation and maintenance of the various machines.
(c) This would appear to be a perfect situation for the use of process
costing. Paintballs are a high volume product, and the paintballs are
very homogenous. While there may be some differences in various
types of paintballs that would merit keeping track of specific costs to
make the various types, the primary method of cost determination
would be process costing.
BYP 21-4 ETHICS CASE
(a) The stakeholders in this situation are:
Jan Wooten, molding department head.
Tony Ferneti quality control inspector.
(b) Tony is placed in an ethical dilemma. He can offend his department head
by disregarding Jan’s instructions and lose the support of his supervisor,
BYP 21-5 CONSIDERING PEOPLE, PLANET, AND PROFIT
(a) Some of the costs that the company now faces include:
• Monetary damages: The company paid $21.4 million in fines as a
result of an OSHA investigation; $1.6 billion to compensate those
affected by the accident; and $1 billion to repair and update its
refinery (plus an additional $250 million to install safety valves)
• Bad publicity
• Lost sales
(b) Some steps that the company could have taken to reduce the environ-
mental failure costs include:
• Install up to date safety equipment
