Oakes Inc. manufactured 40,000 gallons of Mononate and 60,000 gallons of Beracyl in a joint production process, incurring 250,000 of joint costs. Oakes allocates joint costs based on the physical volume of each product produced. Mononate and Beracyl can each be sold at the split-off point in a semifinished state or, alternatively, processed further. Additional data about the two products are as follows: An assistant in the companys cost accounting department was overheard saying ...that when both joint and separable costs are considered, the firm has no business processing either product beyond the split-off point. The extra revenue is simply not worth the effort. Which of the following strategies should be recommended for Oakes?
Pacheco, Inc., produces two products, overs and unders, in a single process. The joint costs of this process were 50,000, and 14,000 units of overs and 36,000 units of unders were produced. Separable processing costs beyond the split-off point were as follows: overs, 18,000; unders, 23,040. Overs sell for 2.00 per unit; unders sell for 3.14 per unit. Required: 1. Allocate the 50,000 joint costs using the estimated net realizable value method. 2. Suppose that overs could be sold at the split-off point for 1.80 per unit. Should Pacheco sell overs at split-off or process them further? Show supporting computations.
LeMoyne Manufacturing Inc.’s joint cost of producing 2,000 units of Product X, 1,000 units of Product Y, and 1,000 units of Product Z is $50,000. The unit sales values of the three products at the split-off point are Product X–$30, Product Y–$100, and Product Z–$90. Ending inventories include 200 units of Product X, 300 units of Product Y, and 100 units of Product Z. Compute the amount of joint cost that would be included in the ending inventory valuation of the three products on the basis of their sales values at split-off. Assume that Product Z can be sold for $120 a unit if it is processed after split-off at a cost of $10 a unit. Compute the amount of joint cost that would be included in the ending inventory valuation of the three products on the basis of their net realizable values.

Cicleta Manufacturing has four activities: receiving materials, assembly, expediting products, and storing goods. Receiving and assembly are necessary activities; expediting and storing goods are unnecessary. The following data pertain to the four activities for the year ending 20x1 (actual price per unit of the activity driver is assumed to be equal to the standard price): Required: 1. Prepare a cost report for the year ending 20x1 that shows value-added costs, non-value-added costs, and total costs for each activity. 2. Explain why expediting products and storing goods are non-value-added activities. 3. What if receiving cost is a step-fixed cost with each step being 1,500 orders whereas assembly cost is a variable cost? What is the implication for reducing the cost of waste for each activity?
Jellison Company had the following operating data for its first two years of operations: Jellison produced 90,000 units in the first year and sold 80,000. In the second year, it produced 80,000 units and sold 90,000 units. The selling price per unit each year was 12. Jellison uses an actual costing system for product costing. Required: 1. Prepare income statements for both years using absorption costing. Has firm performance, as measured by income, improved or declined from Year 1 to Year 2? 2. Prepare income statements for both years using variable costing. Has firm performance, as measured by income, improved or declined from Year 1 to Year 2? 3. Which method do you think most accurately measures firm performance? Why?
A company manufactures three products, L-Ten, Triol, and Pioze, from a joint process. Each production run costs 12,900. None of the products can be sold at split-off, but must be processed further. Information on one batch of the three products is as follows: Required: 1. Allocate the joint cost to L-Ten, Triol, and Pioze using the net realizable value method. (Round the percentages to four significant digits. Round all cost allocations to the nearest dollar.) 2. What if it cost 2 to process each gallon of Triol beyond the split-off point? How would that affect the allocation of joint cost to the three products?
