Answer to Problem 20E

Solution:

Allocated cost of Lobster Tail = $8631

Allocated cost of Lobster Flakes = $1701

Explanation of Solution

Allocated cost to sold items = Units Sold x Cost per pound

Lobster Tail = $7.875 x 1096 = $8631 Lobster Flakes = $5.25 x 324 = $1701

To Calculate:

Requirement 2: Allocated cost of ending inventory

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 20E

Solution:

Allocated cost of ending inventory of Lobster Tail = $1197

Allocated cost of ending inventory of Lobster Flakes = $1071

Explanation of Solution

Ending Inventory = Purchased – Sold

Ending Inventory of Lobster Tail = (52x24)  1096 = 152 pounds Ending Inventory of Lobster Flakes = (22 x 24)  324 = 204 pounds

Cost of ending inventory = Ending Inventory x Cost per pound

Cost of Ending Inventory of Lobster Tail = 152 x 7.875 = $1197 Cost of Ending Inventory of Lobster Flakes = 204 x 5.25 = $1071

Total or Joint Cost

Total Cost      = Purchasing cost + Processing Cost                       = (2400 x 4.50) + 1800                       = $12,600

Market Value

MV of lobster tail = 52 x 24 x 21 = $26208 MV of lobster flakes = 22 x 24 x 14 = $7392 Total Market Value = 26208 + 7392 = $33600

Percentage of Market Value

Lobster tail = 26208/33600 = 78% Lobster flakes = 7392/33600 = 22%

Allocation of Joint Cost

Lobster tail = 78% of 12600 = $9828 Lobster flakes = 22% of 12600 = $2772

Cost per Pound

Lobster Tail = 9828 / 1248 = $7.875 Lobster Flakes = 2772 / 528 = $5.25
