Feathers are sold at the split-off point as a by-product for $1,000,000 which lower the joint costs allocated.
Based on the information given for Jackson Flocks:
allocate the joint processing costs to the three products using:
Sales value at split-off method
Physical-measure method (volume in units)
NRV method
Prepare an analysis for Jackson Flocks that compares processing the smoked legs and thighs further, as it currently does, with selling them as a product immediately at split-off.
Assume Jackson flocks announced that in six months it will sell the legs and thighs at split-off due to increasing competitive pressure. Identify at least three types of likely behavior that will be demonstrated by the skilled labor in the brining and smoking process as a result of this announcement. Include in your discussion how this behavior could be influenced by management.
