Physical Units Method
Alomar Company manufactures four products from a joint production process: barlon, selene, plicene, and corsol. The joint costs for one batch are as follows:
| Direct materials | $63,318 |
| Direct labor | 37,313 |
| Overhead | 25,003 |
At the split-off point, a batch yields 1,104 barlon, 2,809 selene, 2,608 plicene, and 3,511 corsol. All products are sold at the split-off point: barlon sells for $13 per unit, selene sells for $21 per unit, plicene sells for $28 per unit, and corsol sells for $33 per unit.
Required:
1. Allocate the joint costs using the physical units method. If required, round your percentage allocation to four decimal places and round allocated costs to the nearest dollar. Note: The total of the allocated cost does not equal to the one provided in the question data due to rounding error.
| Allocated Joint Cost | ||
| Barlon | $ | |
| Selene | ||
| Plicene | ||
| Corsol | ||
| Total | $ |
2. Suppose that the products are weighted as shown below:
| Barlon | 1.2 |
| Selene | 2.0 |
| Plicene | 1.3 |
| Corsol | 2.4 |
Allocate the joint costs using the weighted average method. If required, round your percentage allocation to four decimal places and round allocated costs to the nearest dollar.
