Kingston Specialty Corporation manufactures joint products P and Q. During a recent period, joint costs amounted to $90,000 in the production of 20,000 gallons of P and 50,000 gallons of Q. Kingston can sell P and Q at split-off for $2.00 per gallon and $2.20 per gallon, respectively. Alternatively, both products can be processed beyond the split-off point, as follows: P Q Separable processing costs $ 22,000 $ 42,000 Sales price (per gallon) if processed beyond split-off $ 4 $ 6 what woulkd be the joint cost allocated to Q under the relative-sales-value method ? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations.
Sell or Process Further Port Allen Chemical Company processes raw material D into joint products E and F. Raw material D costs $6 per liter. It costs $100 to convert 100 liters of D into 60 liters of E and 40 liters of F. Product F can be sold immediately for $6 per liter or processed further into Product G at an additional cost of $4 per liter. Product G can then be sold for $14 per liter. Determine whether Product F should be sold or processed further into Product G. • Calculate the net advantage (disadvantage) of further processing • Use a negative sign with your answer to indicate a net disadvantage (if applicable). $0 per liter
Split Company produces three products — X, Y, and Z — from a joint process. Each product may be sold at the split-off point or processed further. Additional processing requires no special facilities, and production costs of further processing are entirely variable and traceable to the products involved. Last year all three products were processed beyond split-off. Joint production costs for the year were $142,000. Sales values and costs needed to evaluate Split's production policy follow. Product Units Produced Sales Value at Split Off If Processed Further Sales Value Additional Costs x 16,000 $ 45,500 $ 107,500 $ 6,700 y 4,000 31,500 56,500 14,000 z 5,000 38,000 52,000 18,000 The amount of joint costs allocated to product X using the physical measure method is (calculate all ratios and percentages to 4 decimal places, for example 33.3333%, and round all dollar amounts to the nearest whole dollar):

Ibsen Company makes two products from a common input. Joint processing costs up to the split-off point total $45,500 a year. The company allocates these costs to the joint products on the basis of their total sales values at the split-off point. Each product may be sold at the split-off point or processed further. Data concerning these products appear below: Product X Product Y Total Allocated joint processing costs $27,300 $ 18,200 $ 45,500 Sales value at split-off point $ 30,000 $20,000 $50,000 Costs of further processing $ 24,200 $ 18,500 $ 42,700 Sales value after further processing $ 47,800 $58,300 $ 106,100 Required: a. What is financial advantage (disadvantage) of processing Product X beyond the split-off point? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.) b. What is financial advantage (disadvantage) of processing Product Y beyond the split-off point? c. What is the minimum amount the company should accept for Product X if it is to be sold at the split-off point? d.…
Fact Pattern: Atlas Foods produces the following three supplemental food products simultaneously through a refining process costing $93,000. The joint products, Alfa and Betters, have a final selling price of $4 per pound and $10 per pound, respectively, after additional processing costs of $2 per pound of each product are incurred after the split-off point. Morefeed, a by- product, is sold at the split-off point for $3 per pound. O A. $60,000 $31,000 $3,000 $30,000 O B. C. Alfa D. Betters Assuming Atlas Foods inventories Morefeed, the by-product, the joint cost to be allocated to Alfa using the net realizable value method is 10,000 pounds of Alfa, a popular but relatively rare grain supplement having a caloric value of 4,400 calories per pound 5,000 pounds of Betters, a flavoring material high in carbohydrates with a caloric value of 11,200 calories per pound Morefeed 1,000 pounds of Morefeed, used as a cattle feed supplement with a caloric value of 1,000 calories per pound

Current Attempt in Progress A company manufactures three products using the same production process. The costs incurred up to the split-off point are $208,400. These costs are allocated to the products on the basis of their sales value at the split-off point. The number of units produced, the selling prices per unit of the three products at the split-off point and after further processing, and the additional processing costs are as follows. Product D E Your answer is partially correct. F (b1) Number of Units Produced Incremental profit (loss) 4,350 5,530 1,900 Product D Selling Price at Split-Off $10.10 $ 11.10 19.20 Selling Price after Processing $15.40 16.40 23.00 Determine the incremental profit (loss) of each product(s). (Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).) Product E Additional Processing Costs $ $16,995 21,509 10,790 Product F $
ats Assume a company has three products-A, B, and C-that emerge from a joint process. The joint processing costs that are incurred up to the split-off point equal $1,200,000.
