LeMoyne Manufacturing Inc.’s joint cost of producing 2,000 units of Product X, 1,000 units of Product Y, and 1,000 units of Product Z is $50,000. The unit sales values of the three products at the split-off point are Product X–$30, Product Y–$100, and Product Z–$90. Ending inventories include 200 units of Product X, 300 units of Product Y, and 100 units of Product Z. Compute the amount of joint cost that would be included in the ending inventory valuation of the three products on the basis of their sales values at split-off. Assume that Product Z can be sold for $120 a unit if it is processed after split-off at a cost of $10 a unit. Compute the amount of joint cost that would be included in the ending inventory valuation of the three products on the basis of their net realizable values.
Laramie Industries produces two joint products, H and C. Prior to the split-off point, the company incurred costs of $66,000. Product H weighs 44 pounds and product C weighs 66 pounds.

Refer to Cornerstone Exercise 7.3. Now assume that Valron Company uses the reciprocal method to allocate support department costs. Required: 1. Calculate the allocation ratios (rounded to four significant digits) for the four departments using the reciprocal method. 2. Develop a simultaneous equations system of total costs for the support departments. Solve for the total reciprocated costs of each support department. (Round reciprocated total costs to the nearest dollar.) 3. Using the reciprocal method, allocate the costs of the Human Resources and General Factory departments to the Fabricating and Assembly departments. (Round all allocated costs to the nearest dollar.) 4. What if the square footage in Fabricating were 13,300 and the square footage in Assembly were 5,700. How would that affect the allocation of support department costs?

Ethics in Action TAC Industries Inc. sells heavy equipment to large corporations and federal, state, and local governments. Corporate sales are the result of a competitive bidding process, where TAC competes against other companies based on selling price. Sales to the government, however, are determined on a cost plus basis, where the selling price is determined by adding a fixed markup percentage to the total job cost. Tandy Lane is the cost accountant for the Equipment Division of TAC Industries Inc. The division is under pressure from senior management to improve operating income. As Tandy reviewed the divisions job cost sheets, she realized that she could increase the divisions operating income by moving a portion of the direct labor hours that had been assigned to the job cost sheets of corporate customers onto the job order costs sheets of government customers. She believed that this would create a winwin for the division by (1) reducing the cost of corporate jobs, and (2) increasing the cost of government jobs whose profit is based on a percentage of job cost. Tandy submitted this idea to her division manager, who was impressed by her creative solution for improving the divisions profitability. Is Tandys plan ethical?
Computing joint costssales value at split-off and net realizable value methods D.L. Manufacturing Inc.s joint cost of producing 1,000 units of Product A, 500 units of Product B, and 500 units of Product C is 20,000.

Assume that Product C can be sold for 200 a unit if it is processed after split-off at a cost of 25 a unit.
