The Wyeth Corporation produces three products, A, B, and C, from a single rawmaterial input. Product A can be sold at the splitoff point for $40,000, or it can beprocessed further at a total cost of $15,000 and then sold for $58,000. Joint coststotal $60,000 annually. Product A should be:Multiple Choicediscontinued because revenues after further processingare less than total joint costs.sold at the split-off point.processed further and then sold.processed further only if its share of the total joint costs isless than the incremental revenues from furtherprocessing.

The correct answer is: (C) Processed further and then sold The decision to process product A…

Longwood Corporation processes a liquid into three outputs: K-2, K-4, and K-5. The sales value of each of these products for a single batch follows: K-2 $ 579,600 K-4 428,400 K-5 192,000 The joint costs total $850,000. There are no separable production costs. If K-5 is accounted for as a by-product, its sales are credited to the joint manufacturing costs using method 1 described in the text. Required: a-1. What are the allocated joint costs for the three outputs, if K-5 is accounted for as a joint product? a-2. What are the allocated joint costs for the three outputs, if K-5 is accounted for as a by-product?
Stoney Brook Company produces two products (X and Y) 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. Joint manufacturing costs for the year were $81,000. Sales values and costs were as follows: Product Units Made Sales Price at Split-Off If Processed Further Sales Value Separable Cost X 12,000 $ 43,000 $ 81,000 $ 10,500 Y 4,000 86,000 96,000 7,500 If the joint production costs are allocated based on the relative-sales-value method, what woukd be the amount of joint cost assigned to product X ?
Pacheco, Inc., produces two products, overs and unders, in a single process. The joint costs ofthis process were $50,000, and 14,000 units of overs and 36,000 units of unders were produced.Separable processing costs beyond the split-off point were as follows: overs, $18,000; unders,$23,040. Overs sell for $2.00 per unit; unders sell for $3.14 per unit.Required:1. Allocate the $50,000 joint costs using the estimated net realizable value method.2. Suppose that overs could be sold at the split-off point for $1.80 per unit. Should Pacheco sellovers at split-off or process them further? Show supporting computations.
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.

Corey Corporation manufactures joint products W and X. During a recent period, joint costs amounted to $320,000 in the production of 25,000 gallons of W and 60,000 gallons of X. Both products will be processed beyond the split-off point, giving rise to the following data: W X Separable processing costs $ 45,000 $ 150,000 Sales price (per gallon) if processed beyond split-off $ 15 $ 13 What would be the joint cost allocated to X under the net-realizable-value method ?

Cobe Company has already manufactured 22,000 units of Product A at a cost of $15 per unit. The 22,000 units can be sold at this stage for $460,000. Alternatively, the units can be further processed at a $220,000 total additional cost and be converted into 5,100 units of Product B and 11,600 units of Product C. Per unit selling price for Product B is $103 and for Product C is $52. 1. Prepare an analysis that shows whether the 22,000 units of Product A should be processed further or not?

Assume a company has two products—A and B—that emerge from a joint process. Product A has been allocated $24,000 of the total joint costs of $48,000. A total of 2,000 units of Product A are produced from the joint process. Product A can be sold at the split-off point for $16 per unit, or it can be processed further for an additional total cost of $14,800 and then sold for $25 per unit. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of further processing Product A? Multiple Choice $(3,200) $3,200 $(22,000) $22,000
Corporation manufactures three products from a joint process. The three products are in industrial grade form at the split- off point. They can either be sold at that point or processed further into premium grade. Costs related to each batch of this process is as follows: Sales Price at split-off point Allocated joint costs Sales Price after further processing Cost of further processing Product Quantity Product 1 $16 $6,000 $20 $5,330 1,000 lb.

Two products, Ql and VH, emerge from a joint process. Product QI has been allocated $27,300 of the total joint costs of $48,000. A total of 2.200 units of product Ql are produced from the joint process. Product Ql can be sold at the split-off point for $11 per unit, or it can be processed further for an additional total cost of $10,200 and then sold for $13 per unit. If product Ql is processed further and sold, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company compared with sale in its unprocessed form directly after the split-off point?
