Test Company produces two products from a common input: Product A and Product B. One batch of the common input yields 600 units of Product A and 200 units of Product B. The joint costs for one batch are $25,000. Product A can be sold at the split-off point for $80 per unit. Product B can be sold at the split-off point for $150 per unit. Alternatively, Product B can be processed into 120 units of Product C that will sell for $400 per unit. Additional process costs for one batch of Product C will be $5,500 Determine the increase (decrease) in income if Product B is processed further into Product C. Note: Give your answer using dollar signs and commas but not decimal points (cents) Give negative numbers in parentheses Example: $12,345 or $(12,345)

Elsa Products processes Chem-Z into two products: Chem-A and Chem-B. Chem-Z costs $42,000 per batch. The joint process produces 11,250 units of Chem-A with a market value of $135,000, and 20,000 units of Chem-B with a market value of $33,750. The conversion cost of the joint process is $13,400 per batch. Elsa Products allocates joint costs using the physical quantities method. The company never holds any inventory. Required: What cost (total, not unit) and profit will be reported for each product using the current method for allocating joint costs? If the costs of the joint process are allocated on the basis of the net realizable value of the products, what cost (total, not unit) and profit will be reported for each product? How much will profit at Elsa Products increase or decrease if the company switches to the net realizable value method for allocating joint process costs?
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.
Gunston Processing produces two products, ALT-1 and ALT-2, from a batch using a single raw material, ALT-O. Both products require further processing before they be can be sold. A batch of ALT-1 can be sold for $150,000 after processing costs of $30,000. A batch of ALT-2 can be sold for $240,000 after further processing. The cost of ALT-0 is $200,000 for a batch. Using the estimated net realizable value method, a joint cost of $120,000 was allocated to ALT-2 for a batch. Required: Compute the separable processing cost for a batch of ALT-2. Processing cost hs
Cane Company manufactures two products called Alpha and Beta that sell for $140 and $100, respectively. Each product uses only one type of raw material that costs $8 per pound.

Pet Products Inc. manufactures two products, cat bowls and dog bowls, from a joint process. Cat bowls are allocated 50% of the total joint costs of $20,000. There are 1,000 cat bowls produced and 1,000 dog bowls produced each year. Cat Bowls can be sold at the split-off point for $12 per unit, or they can be processed further into an extra fancy cat bowl for additional processing costs of $4,970 and sold for $16 each. What is the difference in operating income between processing the cat bowls further versus selling them off at the split-off point? If income is higher by processing the cat bowls further, input your number as a positive number. If income is lower by processing the cat bowls further, input your number as a negative number.
Chemical Corporation produces liquid chemicals A and B from a joint process. Joint costs are allocated on the basis of relative sales value at split-off. It costs $4,560 to process 500 gallons of Product A and 1,000 gallons of Product B to the split-off point. The market value at split-off is $10 per gallon for Product A and $14 for Product B.
