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 $10 per unit, or they can be processed further into an extra fancy cat bowl for additional processing costs of $4,974 and sold for $14 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.

Webster Company produces 30,000 units of product A, 25,000 units of product B, and 16,500 units of product C from the same manufacturing process at a cost of $405,000. A and B are joint products, and C is regarded as a by-product. The unit selling prices of the products are $25 for A, $10 for B, and $2 for C. None of the products requires separable processing. Of the units produced, Webster Company sells 23,000 units of A, 24,000 units of B, and 16,500 units of C. The firm uses the net realizable value method to allocate joint costs and by-product costs. Assume no beginning inventory. Required: 1. What is the value of the ending inventory of product A? 2. What is the value of the ending inventory of product B?

Elsa Products processes Chem-Z into two products: Chem-A and Chem-B. Chem-Z costs $40,200 per batch. The joint process produces 5,000 units of Chem-A with a market value of $188,200, and 20,000 units of Chem-B with a market value of $41,350. The conversion cost of the joint process is $21,000 per batch. Elsa Products allocates joint costs using the physical quantities method. The company never holds any inventory. Required: a. What cost (total, not unit) and profit will be reported for each product using the current method for allocating joint costs? b.

RelyaTech Corporation makes two products, Light and Heavy. These two products emerge from a joint process. Product Light has been allocated $19,300 of the total joint costs of $40,000. A total of 2,600 units of product Light are produced from the joint process. (ID#62183) Product Light can be sold at the split-off point for $13 per unit, or it can be processed further for an additional total cost of $10,600 and then sold for $15 per unit Q) If product Light is processed further and sold, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) for RelyaTech Corporation compared with sale in its unprocessed form directly after the split-off point?

Mobil Manufacturing purchases a liqid raw material. The material was refined into 3 complete products; neon, argon, and xenon. In the manufacturing process, the 3 products undergo a joint process that has a total cost of $160,000, which includes the cost of the liquid raw material. We learn that 25,000 gallonw of argon can be sold for $45,000 immediately after the completion of the joint production process, without any further processing. 30,000 gallons of xenon are processed in a second department for an extra cost of $66,000 and was sold for $120,000. 60,000 gallons of neon was processed in a third department at an extra cost of $119,000 and was sold for $175,000. Both xenon and neon can be sold at the split-off point for $40,000 and $60,000. Question: Show the allocation of the joint costs among the 3 products using physical unit method, sales value at split-off method, and constant gross margin method.
Jorioz Co makes joint products X and Y. $120,000 joint processing costs are incurred. At the split-off point, 10,000 units of X and 9,000 units of Y are produced, with selling prices of $1.20 for X and $1.50 for Y. The units of X could be processed further to make 8,000 units of product Z. The extra costs incurred in this process would be fixed costs of $1,600 and variable costs of $0.50 per unit of input. The selling price of Z would be $2.25. What would be the outcome if product X is further processed? O $600 loss $400 gain O $3,900 gain O $1,600 loss
XYZ Corporation manufactures two products out of a joint process-A and B. The joint costs incurred are $197,000 for a standard production run that generates 80,000 pounds of A and 20,000 pounds of B. A can sell for $6.00 per pound whereas B sells for $5.00 per pound. If additional processing costs beyond the splitoff point are $2.00 per pound for A and $1.00 per pound for B, the amount of joint cost of each production run allocated to A using the constant gross-margin percentage NRV method is: $152,000. $312,000. $65,000. $45,000.
Toil & Oil processes crude oil to jointly produce gasoline, diesel, and kerosene. One batch produces 3,415 gallons of gasoline, 2,732 gallons of diesel, and 1,366 gallons of kerosene at a joint cost of $12,000. After the split-off point, all products are processed further, but the estimated market price for each product at the split-off point is as follows: Gasoline $2 per gallon Diesel 1 per gallon Kerosene 3 per gallon Using the market value at split-off method, allocate the $12,000 joint cost of production to each product.
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?
