Alternative methods of joint-cost allocation, ending inventories. The Cook Company operates a simple chemical process to convert a single material into three separate items, referred to here as X, Y, and Z. All three end products are separated simultaneously at a single splitoff point.
Products X and Y are ready for sale immediately upon splitoff without further processing or any other additional costs. Product Z, however, is processed further before being sold. There is no available market price for Z at the splitoff point.
The selling prices quoted here are expected to remain the same in the coming year. During 2017, the selling prices of the items and the total amounts sold were as follows:
- X—68 tons sold for $1,200 per ton
- Y—480 tons sold for $900 per ton
- Z—672 tons sold for $600 per ton
The total joint
There were no beginning inventories of X, Y, or Z. At the end of the year, the following inventories of completed units were on hand: X, 132 tons; Y, 120 tons; Z, 28 tons. There was no beginning or ending work in process.
- 1. Compute the cost of inventories of X, Y, and Z for balance sheet purposes and the cost of goods sold for income statement purposes as of December 31, 2017, using the following joint-cost-allocation methods:
Required
- a. NRV method
- b. Constant gross-margin percentage NRV method
- 2. Compare the gross-margin percentages for X, Y, and Z using the two methods given in requirement 1.

- Mephis Manufacturing has a manufacturing process that results in four separate products that together incur some portion of joint costs. If the appropriate split-off point is determined to be at the third stage in the production process, how will the costs incurred after the third stage be accounted for?arrow_forwardJoint procducts may be processed differently or maybe sold without processing. This process of production is called the selective process. The calculation of cost in this method is called -- a. Parallel Process Costing b. Cross Process Costing c.Sequential Process Costing D.Selective Process CostingWhich is not a feature of process costing : O The output of multiple process is used as raw materíal by another process. O Calculate output in terms of equivalent units. O Process costs aré appropriate for industries that manufacture homogeneous products. O The output of one process is used as raw material by another process.arrow_forwardHarvey Corporation produces several joint products fromcommon materials and shared production processes. Whyare costs incurred up to the split-off point not relevant indeciding which products Harvey sells at the split-off pointand which products it processes further?arrow_forward
- DEF Company produces three product (A, B, and C) in a joint process costing 100,000. The products can be sold as they leave the process or they can be processed further and sold. The cost accountant has provided the following information: Product Unit Volume Sales prices at split-off Separable further processing costs sales price after further processing A 3000 10 60000 25 B 4000 15 50000 30 C 8000 20 90000 35 Assume that all processing costs are variable costs. Which products should DEF Company sell at split-off, and which products should be processed further?arrow_forwardMilo Manufacturing produces products Kappa and Lambda from a joint process. Total joint costs are $168,000. The sales value at split-off was $174,960 for 8,400 units of Kappa and $63,280 for 12,600 units of Lambda. Required: What joint costs are allocated to the two products using the net realizable value at split-off approach? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar amounts. What joint costs are allocated to the two products using the physical quantities method? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations.

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?arrow_forward
- Hales Company produces a product that requires two processes. In the first process, a subassembly is produced (subassembly A). In the second process, this subassembly and a subassembly purchased from outside the company (subassembly B) are assembled to produce the final product. For simplicity, assume that the assembly of one final unit takes the same time as the production of subassembly A. Subassembly A is placed in a container and sent to an area called the subassembly stores (SB stores) area. A production Kanban is attached to this container. A second container, also with one subassembly, is located near the assembly line (called the withdrawal store). This container has attached to it a withdrawal Kanban. Required: 1. Explain how withdrawal and production Kanban cards are used to control the work flow between the two processes. How does this approach minimize inventories? 2. Explain how vendor Kanban cards can be used to control the flow of the purchased subassembly. What implications does this have for supplier relationships? What role, if any, do continuous replenishment and EDI play in this process?arrow_forwardBreegle Company produces three products (B-40, J-60, and H-102) from a single process. Breegle uses the physical volume method to allocate joint costs of 22,500 per batch to theproducts. Based on the following information, which product(s) should Breegle continue toprocess after the split-off point in order to maximize profit? a. B-40 only b. J-60 only c. H-102 only d. B-40 and H-102 onlyarrow_forwardPacheco, 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.arrow_forward
