In: Accounting
Joint products A and B emerge from common processing that costs $240,000 and yields 2,000 units of Product A and 1,000 units of Product B. Product A can be sold for $100 per unit. Product B can be sold for $50 per unit.
Question 5
How much of the joint cost will be assigned to Product B if joint costs are allocated on the basis of relative sales values?
Question 6
What is Product B’s profit if joint costs are allocated on the basis of relative sales values?
Question 7
How much of the joint cost will be assigned to Product B if joint costs are allocated on the basis of the number of units produced?
Question 8
What is Product B’s profit if joint costs are allocated on the basis of the number of units produced?
Answer 5:
Sale value of Product A = 2000 * $100 = $200,000
Sale value of Product B = 1000 * $50 = $50,000
Total sale value = 200000 + 50000 = $250,000
Based on relative sale value joint cost that will be assigned to Product B = 240000 * 50000/250000 = $48,000
Based on relative sale value joint cost that will be assigned to Product B = $48,000
Answer 6:
Sale value of Product B = 1000 * $50 = $50,000
Based on relative sale value joint cost that will be assigned to Product B = $48,000
Product B’s profit = 50000 - 48000 = $2,000
Product B’s profit if joint costs are allocated on the basis of relative sales values = $2,000
Answer 7:
Number of units produced of Product A = 2,000
Number of units produced of Product B = 1,000
Total number of units produced = 2000 + 1000 = 3,000
Based on number of units produced joint cost that will be assigned to Product B = 240000 * 1000/3000
= $80,000
Based on number of units produced joint cost that will be assigned to Product B = $80,000
Answer 8:
Sale value of Product B = 1000 * $50 = $50,000
Based on number of units produced joint cost that will be assigned to Product B = $80,000
Product B’s profit (loss) = 50000 - 80000 = -$30,000 or ($30,000)
Product B’s profit if joint costs are allocated based on number of units produced = -$30,000 or ($30,000)
