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.

- Activity-based product costing Mello Manufacturing Company is a diversified manufacturer that manufactures three products (Alpha, Beta, and Omega) in a continuous production process. Senior management has asked the controller to conduct an activity-based costing study. The controller identified the amount of factory overhead required by the critical activities of the organization as follows: The activity bases identified for each activity are as follows: The activity-base usage quantities and units produced for the three products were determined from corporate records and are as follows: Each product requires 40 minutes per unit of machine time. Instructions Determine the activity rate for each activity. Determine the total and per-unit activity cost for all three products. Round to nearest cent. Why arent the activity unit costs equal across all three products since they require the same machine time per unit?arrow_forwardOakes 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.
