Choi Company manufactures two skin care lotions, Smooth Skin and Silken Skin, from a joint process. The joint costs incurred are $310,000 for a standard production run that generates 180,000 pints of Smooth Skin and 280,000 pints of Silken Skin. Smooth Skin sells for $3.60 per pint, while Silken Skin sells for $5.10 per pint. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round final answers to nearest whole dollar amounts.)

  
Required:
1. Assuming that both products are sold at the split-off point, how much of the joint cost of each production run is allocated to Smooth Skin using the relative sales value method?
2. If no separable costs are incurred after the split-off point, how much of the joint cost of each production run is allocated to Silken Skin using the physical measure method?
3. If separable processing costs beyond the split-off point are $1.30 per pint for Smooth Skin and $1.80 per pint for Silken Skin, how much of the joint cost of each production run is allocated to Silken Skin using a net realizable value method?
4. If separable processing costs beyond the split-off point are $1.30 per pint for Smooth Skin and $1.80 per pint for Silken Skin, how much of the joint cost of each production run is allocated to Smooth Skin using a physical measure method?

Alva Community Hospital has five laboratory technicians who are responsible for doing a series of standard blood tests. Each technician is paid a salary of $30,000. The lab facility represents a recent addition to the hospital and cost $350,000. It is expected to last 20 years. Equipment used for the testing cost $10,000 and has a life expectancy of 5 years. In addition to the salaries, facility, and equipment, Alva expects to spend $200,000 for chemicals, forms, power, and other supplies. This $200,000 is enough for 200,000 blood tests.

Assuming that the driver (measure of output) for each type of cost is the number of blood tests run, classify each cost as a variable cost, discretionary fixed cost, or committed fixed cost.
