Blasto, Inc., operates several mines. At one, a typical batch of ore run through the plant yields three products: lead, copper, and manganese. At the split-off point, the intermediate products cannot be sold without further processing. The lead from a typical batch sells for $40,000 after incurring additional processing costs of $12,000. The copper is sold for $80,000 after additional processing costs of $10,000, and the manganese yield sells for $60,000 but requires additional processing costs of $18,000. The joint costs of processing the raw ore, including the cost of mining, are $100,000 per batch. Required: Use the estimated net realizable value method to allocate the joint processing costs.

Saint John Mining operates several facilities. At one, a typical batch of an ore, Pryex, run through the processing plant yields three products: PX-10, PX-20, and PX-30. At the split-off point, the intermediate products cannot be sold without further processing. A typical batch of PX-10 sells for $110,000 after incurring additional processing costs of $20,000. PX-20 can be sold for $170,000 after additional processing costs of $44,000, and the PX-30 sells for $220,000 but requires additional processing costs of $76,000. The joint costs of processing the Pryex, including the cost of mining, are $240,000 per batch. Required: Use the estimated net realizable value method to allocate the joint processing costs and fill out the following table.

The Perth Mining Co. operates 2 mines for the purpose of extricating bronze and platinum. The Saddle Mine costs $14,000/day to operate, and it yields 50oz of bronze and 3,000ozof platinum each day. The Horseshoe Mine costs $16,000/day to operate, and ityields 75ozof bronze and 1,000oz of platinum each day. Company management has set a target of at least 650oz of bronze and 18,000oz of platinum. How many days should each mine be operated so that the target can be met at a minimum cost? What is the minimum cost?
Gunston Processing produces two products, ALT-1 and ALT-2, from a batch using a single raw material, ALT-O. Both products require further processing before they be can be sold. A batch of ALT-1 can be sold for $153,000 after processing costs of $42,000. A batch of ALT-2 can be sold for $241,200 after further processing. The cost of ALT-O is $200,000 for a batch. Using the estimated net realizable value method, a joint cost of $120,000 was allocated to ALT-2 for a batch. Required: Compute the separable processing cost for a batch of ALT-2. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Processing cost
Crane Production Company manufactures two products from a joint process. The joint process costs $37,000. Both products must be processed past the split-off point to be marketable. White sugar produces 680 units or 37,000 lbs., incurs separable costs of $5 per unit, and has a market price of $25. Brown sugar produces 2,030 units or 74,500 lbs., incurs separable costs of $10 per unit, and has a market price of $20. Using the sales value at split-off method to allocate joint costs, how much joint costs will be allocated to each product? (Do not round the intermediate calculations. Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.) White Sugar Brown Sugar $ $ Joint Costs

Betram Chemicals Company processes a number of chemical compounds used in producing industrial cleaning products. One compound is decomposed into two chemicals: anderine and dofinol. The cost of processing one batch of compound is $75,000, and the result is 6,200 gallons of anderine and 8,200 gallons of dofinol. Betram Chemicals can sell the anderine at split-off for $11.00 per gallon and the dofinol for $6.65 per gallon. Alternatively, the anderine can be processed further at a cost of $8.90 per gallon (of anderine) into cermine. It takes 2 gallons of anderine for every gallon of cermine. A gallon of cermine sells for $59. 2. What if the production of anderine into cermine required additional purchasing and quality inspection activity? Every 540 gallons of anderine that undergo further processing require 20 more purchase orders at $12 each and 13 more quality inspection hours at $22 each. Which alternative would be better and by how much?NOTE: Round interim calculations and your final…
