Walton Chicken Corporation processes and packages chicken for grocery stores. It purchases chickens from farmers and processes them into two different products: chicken drumsticks and chicken steak. From a standard batch of 23,000 pounds of raw chicken that costs $15, 600, the company produces two parts: 4,000 pounds of drumsticks and 6,000 pounds of breast for a processing cost of $ 3,384. The chicken breast is further processed into 5,200 pounds of steak for a processing cost of $3,200. The market price of drumsticks per pound is $1.75 and the market price per pound of chicken steak is $5.20. If Walton decided to sell chicken breast instead of chicken steak, the price per pound would be $2.60. Product Allocation Rate x Weight of Base Allocated Cost Drumsticks $1.90 x 4,000 = $7,600 Chicken breast 1.90 x 6,000 = 11,400 Total allocated cost $19,000 Chicken Drumsticks Chicken Breast Revenue $7,000 $15,600 Cost of goods sold 7,600 11,400 Gross margin $(600) $4,200 Reallocate the joint cost to the joint products, drumsticks and breasts, using relative market values as the allocation base.

Pirate Seafood Company purchases lobsters and processes them into tails and flakes. It sells the lobster tails for $20.00 per pound and the flakes for $16.00 per pound. On average, 100 pounds of lobster are processed into 59 pounds of tails and 27 pounds of flakes, with 14 pounds of waste. Assume that the company purchased 3,400 pounds of lobster for $4 per pound and processed the lobsters with an additional labor cost of $8,000. No materials or labor costs are assigned to the waste. If 1,858 pounds of tails and 829 pounds of flakes are sold, calculate the allocated cost of the sold items and the allocated cost of the ending inventory. The company allocates joint costs on a value basis. (Round your answers to nearest whole number. Round cost per pound answers to 2 decimal places.)
A variety of productschicken wings, drumsticks, thighs, and so on-are the result of a joint production process of butchering a chicken that costs $0.25 per pound. The wings can be sold at the splitoff point for 0.35 per pound, or they can be processed further by cooking them in barbecue sauces and selling them as buffalo wings for $ 0.46 per pound. The cooking process can accommodate 1,300 pounds of wings at a time and costs $90 for sauce, cooking time, and labor. Should the wings be processed further to make buffalo wings?
A dairy operation processes raw milk into two main products: skim milk and cream. Both of these products are salable at the end of the joint process, worth $13,000 and $23,000, respectively. The skim milk can be further processed at a cost of $8,190 in order to yield sweetened condensed milk. This final product can be sold for $24,000. The cream can also be processed further, at a cost of $9,810, in order to generate butter, which is worth $45,000. If the joint process costs are $21,000, how much of the joint cost will be allocated to each product under the NRV method? (Round proportion to 2 decimal places, e.g. 0.25 and final answers to O decimal places, e.g. 5,125.) Allocated joint costs $ Skim Milk +A $ Cream
