Chapter 16, Problem 16.33P
Alternative methods of joint-cost allocation, product-mix decisions. The Chicago Oil Company buys crude vegetable oil. Refining this oil results in four products at the splitoff point: A, B, C, and D. Product C is fully processed by the splitoff point. Products A, B, and D can individually be further refined into Super A, Super B, and Super D. In the most recent month (November), the output at the splitoff point was as follows:
- Product A, 550,000 gallons
- Product B, 200,000 gallons
- Product C, 150,000 gallons
- Product D, 100,000 gallons
The joint costs of purchasing and processing the crude vegetable oil were $210,000. Chicago had no beginning or ending inventories. Sales of product C in November were $90,000. Products A, B, and D were further refined and then sold. Data related to November are as follows:
| Separable |
Revenues | |
| Super A | $480,000 | $750,000 |
| Super B | 120,000 | 300,000 |
| Super D | 90,000 | 150,000 |
Chicago had the option of selling products A, B, and D at the splitoff point. This alternative would have yielded the following revenues for the November production:
- Product A, $150,000
- Product B, $125,000
- Product D, $135,000
-
- 1. Compute the gross-margin percentage for each product sold in November, using the following methods for allocating the $210,000 joint costs:
Required
- a. Sales value at splitoff
- b. Physical measure
- c. NRV
- 2. Could Chicago Oil have increased its November operating income by making different decisions about the further processing of products A, B, or D? Show the effect on operating income of any changes you recommend

Oak View Chemicals produces two main products. M-10 and M-20, and one by-product, B-60, from a single input. Chem-X. Products M-10 and M-20 can either be sold at split-off or processed
further and sold. A given batch begins with 1,000 gallons of Chem-X with a cost of $90,000. Additional information regarding a batch follows.
Oak View Chemicals uses the net realizable at split-off approach to allocate joint costs and treats the sales value of the by-product B-60 as other income.

- 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?arrow_forwardJoint cost allocation McKenzies Soap Sensations, Inc., produces hand soaps with three different scents: morning glory, snowflake sparkle, and sea breeze. The soap is produced through a joint production process thatcosts 30,000 per batch. Each batch produces 14,800 bottles of morning glory hand soap, 12,000bottles of snowflake sparkle hand soap, and 10,000 bottles of sea breeze hand soap at the split-offpoint. Each product is processed further after the split-off point, but the market value of a bottle ofany of the flavors at this point is estimated to be 1.25 per bottle. The additional processing costsof morning glory, snowflake sparkle, and sea breeze hand soap are 10.50, 0.55, and 0.60 perbottle, respectively. Morning glory, snowflake sparkle, and sea breeze hand soap are then sold for2.00, 2.20, and 2.40 per bottle, respectively. Instructions 1. Using the net realizable value method, allocate the joint costs of production to each product. 2.

Kardash Cosmetics purchases flowers in bulk and processes them into perfume. From a certain mix of petals, the firm uses Process A to generate Seduction, its high-grade perfume, as well as a certain residue. The residue is then further treated, using Process B, to yield Romance, a medium-grade perfume. An ounce of residue typically yields an ounce of Romance. In July, the company used 25,000 pounds of petals. Costs involved in Process A, i.e., reducing the petals to Seduction and the residue, were: Direct Materials - $440,000; Direct Labor - $220,000; Overhead Costs - $110,000. The additional costs of producing Romance in Process B were: Direct Materials - $22,000; Direct Labor - $50,000; Overhead Costs - $40,000. During July, Process A yielded 7,000 ounces of Seduction and 49,000 ounces of residue. From this, 5,000 ounces of Seduction were packaged and sold for $109.50 an ounce.
