Skysong Sawmill Co. runs rough logs through its cutting facility for the primary purpose of producing hardwood lumber. In this
process, however, not all of the wood is of high enough quality to be sold as hardwood lumber. The other joint product, lower-grade
lumber, has been sold as-is to other manufacturers to make wood pallets. Last year, the following quantities and sales prices were
reported.
Joint process costs
Quantities produced
$480,000 (includes timber logs)
100,000 board feet of hardwood lumber
22,000 board feet of low-grade lumber
Sales prices at split-off
$7.80 per board foot for hardwood lumber
$2.50 per board foot for low-grade lumber
Paul, the sawmill owner, is meeting with other top managers as they consider avenues for increased profitability. They recognize that
selling the lower-grade wood to other companies has certainly helped the mill's bottom line. However, they wonder if they could
further process this wood themselves and make even more of a return.
(a)
Determine the gross margin levels and percentages Paul is looking at for last year's results (assume all products produced were
sold). Use the sales value at split-off method to allocate joint costs. (Round proportion to 4 decimal places, e.g. 0.2516, allocated joint
costs and gross margin to O decimal places, e.g. 5,125 and gross margin percentage to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25%.)
