Joint cost allocation —market value at split-off method
Sugar Sweetheart, Inc., jointly produces raw sugar, granulated sugar, and caster sugar. After the split-off point, raw sugar is immediately sold for $0.20 per pound, while granulated and caster sugar are processed further. The market value of the granulated sugar and caster sugar is estimated to both be $0.25 at the split-off point. One batch of joint production costs $1,640 and yields 3,000 pounds of raw sugar, 3,600 pounds of granulated sugar, and 2,000 pounds of caster sugar at the split-off point. Allocate the joint costs of production to each product using the market value at split-off method.

- Joint cost allocation-market value at split-off method Toil Oil processes crude oil to jointly produce gasoline, diesel, and kerosene. One batch produces 3,415 gallons of gasoline, 2,732 gallons of diesel, and 1,366 gallons of kerosene at a joint cost of 112,000. After the split-off point, all products are processed further, but the estimated market price for each product at the split-off point is as follows: Using the market value at split-off method, allocate the 12,000 joint cost of production to each product.arrow_forwardJoint cost allocation Lovely Lotion Inc. produces three different lotions: hand, body, and foot. The lotions are produced jointly in a mixing process that costs a total of 250 per batch. At the split-off point, one batchproduces 80, 40, and 25 bottles of hand, body, and foot lotion, respectively. After the split-off point,hand lotion is sold immediately for 2.50 per bottle. Body lotion is processed further at an additional cost of 0.25 per bottle and then sold for 5.75 per bottle. Foot lotion is processed further atan additional cost of 0.85 per bottle and then sold for 4.00 per bottle. Assume that body and footlotion could be sold at the split-off point for 3.00 and 3.20 per bottle, respectively. Instructions 1. Using the market value at split-off method, allocate the joint costs of production to each product. 2. Based on the information provided and your answer to part (1), should Lovely LotionInc. continue processing body and foot lotion after the split-off point? 3. Allocate the joint costs of production to each product using the net realizable value method.arrow_forwardJoint cost allocation net realizable value method Natures Garden Inc. produces wood chips, wood pulp, and mulch. These products are produced through harvesting trees and sending the logs through a wood chipper machine. One batch of logsproduces 20,304 cubic yards of wood chips, 14,100 cubic yards of mulch, and 9,024 cubic yards ofwood pulp. The joint production process costs a total of 32,000 per batch. After the split-off point,wood chips are immediately sold for 25 per cubic yard while wood pulp and mulch are processedfurther. The market value of the wood pulp and mulch at the split-off point is estimated to be 22and 24 per cubic yard, respectively. The additional production process of the wood pulp costs 5per cubic yard, after which it is sold for 30 per cubic yard. The additional production process ofthe mulch costs 4 per cubic yard, after which it is sold for 32 per cubic yard.

- Joint 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. Explain why McKenzies Soap Sensations, Inc., always chooses to process each varietyof hand soap beyond the split-off point. 3. If demand for all products was the same, which product should McKenzies Soap Sensations, Inc., produce in the highest quantity?arrow_forwardProduct Mix Decision, Single Constraint Norton Company produces two products (Juno and Hera) that use the same material input. Juno uses two pounds of the material for every unit produced, and Hera uses five pounds. Currently, Norton has 16,000 pounds of the material in inventory. All of the material is imported. For the coming year, Norton plans to import an additional 8,000 pounds to produce 2,000 units of Juno and 4,000 units of Hera. The unit contribution margin is 30 for Juno and 60 for Hera. Also, assume that Nortons marketing department estimates that the company can sell a maximum of 2,000 units of Juno and 4,000 units of Hera. Norton has received word that the source of the material has been shut down by embargo. Consequently, the company will not be able to import the 8,000 pounds it planned to use in the coming years production. There is no other source of the material. Required: 1. Compute the total contribution margin that the company would earn if it could manufacture 2,000 units of Juno and 4,000 units of Hera. 2. Determine the optimal usage of the companys inventory of 16,000 pounds of the material. Compute the total contribution margin for the product mix that you recommend.arrow_forwardSell at Split-Off or Process Further Eunice Company produces two products from a joint process. Joint costs are 70,000 for one batch, which yields 1,000 liters of germain and 4,000 liters of hastain. Germain can be sold at the split-off point for 24 or be processed further, into geraiten, at a manufacturing cost of 4,100 (for the 1,000 liters) and sold for 33 per liter. If geraiten is sold, additional distribution costs of 0.80 per liter and sales commissions of 10% of sales will be incurred. In addition, Eunices legal department is concerned about potential liability issues with geraitenissues that do not arise with germain. Required: 1. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Considering only gross profit, should germain be sold at the split-off point or processed further? 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Taking a value-chain approach (by considering distribution, marketing, and after-the-sale costs), determine whether or not germain should be processed into geraiten.arrow_forward
- Breegle 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_forwardComputing joint costssales value at split-off and net realizable value methods D.L. Manufacturing Inc.s joint cost of producing 1,000 units of Product A, 500 units of Product B, and 500 units of Product C is 20,000. The unit sales values of the three products at the split-off point are Product A20, Product B200, and Product C160. Ending inventories include 100 units of Product A, 200 units of Product B, and 300 units of Product C. a. Compute the amount of joint cost that would be included in the ending inventory valuation of the three products on the basis of their sales value at split off. b. Assume that Product C can be sold for 200 a unit if it is processed after split-off at a cost of 25 a unit. Compute the amount of joint cost that would be included in the ending inventory valuation of the three products on the basis of their net realizable values.arrow_forwardSell or Process Further, Basic Analysis Shenista Inc. produces four products (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta) from a common input. The joint costs for a typical quarter follow: The revenues from each product are as follows: Alpha, 100,000; Beta, 93,000; Gamma, 30,000; and Delta, 40,000. Management is considering processing Delta beyond the split-off point, which would increase the sales value of Delta to 75,000. However, to process Delta further means that the company must rent some special equipment that costs 15,400 per quarter. Additional materials and labor also needed will cost 8,500 per quarter. Required: 1. What is the operating profit earned by the four products for one quarter? 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Should the division process Delta further or sell it at split-off? What is the effect of the decision on quarterly operating profit?arrow_forward
- A 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_forwardJoint cost allocation Rosies Roses produces three colors of roses: red, white, and peach. The roses are produced jointly in the same garden, and aggregately cost a total of 110 per harvest. One harvest produces 80 redroses, 70 white roses, and 50 peach roses. Rosie also noted that the peach roses require a fertilizer that is m ice as expensive as the fertilizer required by the white and red roses. However, due to the structure of the shared garden space, the more expensive fertilizer is used for all flower types in ajoint production process. Instructions 1. Using the physical units method, allocate the joint costs of production to each product. 2. Using the weighted average method, allocate the joint costs of production to each product. 3. Is the cost of the type of fertilizer required by each type of rose a good weight factor?arrow_forwardJoint cost allocation and performance evaluation 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 of the Turbo Capsules, such that Turbo Capsules have much higher margins than Power Shakes. This provides a reasonable argument for Turbo Capsules to carry even more of the joint costs than they currently carry. a. Did the line manager behave ethically by not disclosing the facts that go against her argument? b. What factors should be considered when determining the allocation of joint costs?arrow_forward
