Wexpro, Incorporated, produces several products from processing 1 ton of clypton, a rare mineral. Material and processing costs total $60,000 per ton, one-fourth of which is allocated to product X15. Seven thousand units of product X15 are produced from each ton of clypton. The units can either be sold at the split-off point for $9 each, or processed further at a total cost of $9,500 and then sold for $12 each. Required: 1. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of further processing product X15? 2. Should product X15 be processed further or sold at the split-off point? 1. 2. Product X15 should be

Atlas Foods produces three supplemental food products simultaneously through a refining process costing $85,000. The joint products, Alfa and Betters, have a final selling price of $8 per pound and $5 per pound, respectively, after additional processing costs of $3 per pound of each product are incurred after the split-off point. Morefeed, a by-product, is sold at the split- off point for $2.50 per pound. Additional information are as follows: Alfa - 15,000 pounds of Alfa, a popular but relatively rare grain supplement of having a caloric value of 8,800 calories/pound. Betters - 5,000 pounds of Betters, a flavouring material high in carbohydrates with a caloric value of 12,000 calories/pound. Morefeed - 2,000 pounds of Morefeed, used as a cattle feed supplement with a caloric value of 1,000 calories/pound. Questions: 1. Assuming Atlas Foods does not inventory Morefeed, the by-product, the joint cost to be allocated to Betters using the net realizable method is?
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. The company has the capacity to annually produce 106,000 units of each product. Its average cost per unit for each product at this level of activity is given below:
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.
Saint John Mining operates several facilities. At one, a typical batch of an ore, Pryex, run through the processing plant yields three products: PX-10, PX-20, and PX-30. At the split-off point, the intermediate products cannot be sold without further processing. A typical batch of PX-10 sells for $110,000 after incurring additional processing costs of $20,000. PX-20 can be sold for $170,000 after additional processing costs of $44,000, and the PX-30 sells for $220,000 but requires additional processing costs of $76,000. The joint costs of processing the Pryex, including the cost of mining, are $240,000 per batch. Required: Use the estimated net realizable value method to allocate the joint processing costs and fill out the following table. PX-10 PX-20 PX-30 Estimated Sales Value at split-off Percent of total sales value at split-off % % % Cost-allocation
Thompson Industrial Products Inc. (TIPI) is a diversified industrial-cleaner processing company. The company's Dargan plant produces two products: a table cleaner and a floor cleaner from a common set of chemical inputs (CDG). Each week, 945,000 ounces of chemical input are processed at a cost of $213,000 into 630,000 ounces of floor cleaner and 315,000 ounces of table cleaner. The floor cleaner has no market value until it is converted into a polish with the trade name FloorShine. The additional processing costs for this conversion amount to $244,200, Floor Shine sells at $20 per 30-ounce bottle. The table cleaner can be sold for $21 per 25-ounce bottle. However, the table cleaner can be converted into two other products by adding 315,000 ounces of another compound (TCP) to the 315,000 ounces of table cleaner. This joint process will yield 315,000 ounces each of table stain remover (TSR) and table polish (TP). The additional processing costs for this process amount to $102,000. Both…
Zycon has produced 10,000 units of partially finished Product A. These units cost $15,000 to produce, and they can be sold to another manufacturer for $20,000. Instead, Zycon can process the units further and produce finished Products X, Y, and Z. Processing further will cost an additional $22,000 and will yield total revenues of $35,000. Place an X in the appropriate column to identify whether the item is relevant or irrelevant to the sell or process further decision.
