Transcribed Image Text:The following information relates to a joint production process for three products, with a total joint production cost of
$125,000. There are no separable processing costs for any of the three products.

Assume that the total sales value at the split-off point for product 1 is $62,500 instead of $150,000 and the sales value of product 3 is
$2,500 instead of $37,500. Assume also that, because of its relatively low sales value, the firm treats product 3 as a by-product and
uses the asset recognition method for accounting for by-products. What amount of joint cost would be allocated to the products using
the sales value at split-off method?

Assume that the total sales value at the split-off point for product 1 is $62,500 instead of $150,000 and the sales value of product 3 is
$2,500 instead of $37,500. Assume also that the firm treats product 3 as a joint product and uses the net realizable value method for
accounting for joint costs. There are no separable processing costs for product 3. What amount of joint costs would be allocated to the
three products using the relative sales value method? (Round your intermediate percentage values to 2 decimal places (i.e. 24.35%)
and final answers to nearest whole dollar amount.)
