Fordham Corporation produces a single product. The standard costs for one unit of its Concourse product are as follows:
The joint process from which Ple'egrea, Inc. obtains both Nuts and Bolts has a total cost of $74,000 per batch. From each batch, 2,400 pounds of Nuts and 18,600 pounds of Bolts are obtained. These can be sold at the split-off point for $38 and $14 respectively. For product costing purposes Ple'egrea allocates joint costs using the relative sales value method.
The amount of joint cost allocated to Nuts would be, to the nearest dollar:
Dallas Company produces joint products, TomL and JimmyJ, each of which incurs separable production costs after the splitoff point. Information concerning a batch produced at a $200,000 joint cost before splitoff follows:

- 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_forwardBoard-It, Inc., produces the following types of 2 4 10 wood boards: washed, stained, and pressure treated. These products are produced jointly until they are cut. One batch produces 45 washed boards, 35 stained boards, and 20 pressure treated boards. The joint production process costs a total of 710 per batch. Using the physical units method, allocate the joint production cost to each product.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_forward
- 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_forwardA company manufactures three products, L-Ten, Triol, and Pioze, from a joint process. 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_forwardBenson Pharmaceuticals uses a process-costing system to compute the unit costs of the over-the-counter cold remedies that it produces. It has three departments: mixing, encapsulating, and bottling. In mixing, the ingredients for the cold capsules are measured, sifted, and blended (with materials assumed to be uniformly added throughout the process). The mix is transferred out in gallon containers. The encapsulating department takes the powdered mix and places it in capsules (which are necessarily added at the beginning of the process). One gallon of powdered mix converts into 1,500 capsules. After the capsules are filled and polished, they are transferred to bottling, where they are placed in bottles that are then affixed with a safety seal, lid, and label. Each bottle receives 50 capsules. During March, the following results are available for the first two departments: Overhead in both departments is applied as a percentage of direct labor costs. In the mixing department, overhead is 200% of direct labor. In the encapsulating department, the overhead rate is 150% of direct labor. Required: 1. Prepare a production report for the mixing department using the weighted average method. Follow the five steps outlined in the chapter. (Note: Round to two decimal places for the unit cost.) 2. Prepare a production report for the encapsulating department using the weighted average method. Follow the five steps outlined in the chapter. (Note: Round to four decimal places for the unit cost.) 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Explain why the weighted average method is easier to use than FIFO. Explain when weighted average will give about the same results as FIFO.arrow_forward

Raw materials are put into production in Department X, and at the end of processing in this department, three products appear. Product A is sold at the split-off point with no further processing. Products B and C require further processing before they are sold. Product B is processed in Department Y, and product C is processed in Department Z. The company uses the estimated net realizable value method of allocating joint production costs. Following is a summary of costs and other data for the quarter ended June 30. No inventories were on hand at the beginning of the quarter. No raw material was on hand at June 30. All units on hand at the end of the quarter were fully complete as to processing.arrow_forward
- Gigabody, Inc., a nutritional supplement manufacturer, produces five lines of protein supplements. Each product line is managed separately by a senior-level product engineer who is evaluated, in part, based on his or her ability to keep costs low. The five product lines are produced in a joint production process. After splitting off from the joint production process, all five lines are processed further before resale. Traditionally, joint product costs have been allocated to the five product lines using the physical units method. Recently, however, one of the line managers has complained that the supplement she oversees, the Turbo Capsule, is subsidizing the production of the Power Shake. As she puts it, "The powder for the Power Shake requires a higher temperature in the early refining process than the powder in my capsules, so it should carry more of the joint costs!" However, the line manager does not point out that in terms of the powder used, the Power Shakes sell for a fraction…arrow_forwardGigabody, Inc., a nutritional supplement manufacturer, produces five lines of protein supplements.
