Clark Kent Inc. buys crypton for $.80 a gallon. At the end of processing in Dept. 1, crypton splits off into products plutonium, tantalum, and xenon. Plutonium is sold at the split-off point with no further processing. Tantalum and xenon require further processing before they can be sold.

Following is a summary of costs and other related data for the year ended December 31: No inventories were on hand at the beginning of the year, and no crypton was on hand at the end of the year. All gallons on hand at the end of the year were complete as to processing. Kent uses the net realizable value method of allocating joint costs. Required: Calculate the allocation of joint costs. Calculate the total cost per unit for each product.

Click the Chart sheet tab. On the screen is a column chart showing ending inventory costs. During a deflationary period, which bar (A, B, or C) represents FIFO costing, which represents LIFO costing, and which represents weighted average? Explain your reasoning. On January 4 following year-end, Rio Enterprises received a shipment of 60 units of product costing 580 each. These units had been ordered by Del in December and had been shipped to him on December 27. They were shipped FOB shipping point. Revise the FIFOLIFO3 worksheet to include this shipment. Preview the printout to make sure that the worksheet will print neatly on one page, and then print the worksheet. Save the completed file as FIFOLIFOT. Using the FIFOLIFO3 file, prepare a 3-D bar (stacked) chart showing the cost of goods sold and ending inventory under each of the four inventory cost flow assumptions. No Chart Data Table is needed. Use the values in the Calculations Section of the worksheet for your chart. Enter your name somewhere on the chart. Save the file again as FIFOLIFO3. Print the chart.
