In the current year, Division I had sales of P6,000,000, which was 20% of Norte's total sales, and had traceable operating costs of P3,800,000. Norte incurred operating costs of P1,000,000 that were not directly traceable to any of the divisions. In addition, Norte incurred interest expense of P600,000. In reporting segment information, what amount should be shown as operating profit of Division I for the current year?

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.
