Transcribed Image Text:secret-
Windsor & Sons produces tomato juice and tomato puree
from fresh tomatoes grown by local farmers. The
company purchases large crates of tomatoes and then
washes, sorts, scalds, peels, and crushes them, at which
point the juice and the pulp are separately identifiable.
Windsor currently processes the pulp further to
transform it into his great-great-grandmother's
recipe spaghetti sauce. The specifics on each of these
products for one month are as follows. Joint processing
costs $173,000 Quantity of tomato juice produced 6,000
gallons Value of tomato juice $8 per gallon Quantity of
tomato puree produced 14,000 pounds Additional cost
to make spaghetti sauce $23,000 Final sales value of
spaghetti sauce $212,000
Using the NRV method for allocating joint costs, specify
how much joint cost will be allocated to the juice and to
the puree/spaghetti sauce. (Round proportion to 4
decimal places, e.g. 0.2516 and final answers to 2
decimal places, e.g. 15.25.)

Windsor recently became aware of consumer
preferences for flavored tomato juice. With some slight
modifications to his facility, he could process the tomato
juice further and turn it into clam-flavored tomato juice
for an additional processing cost of $1,500. With no
change in total volume, this flavored juice could sell for
$60,000. Given this new information, recalculate the joint
cost allocations for both joint products under the NRV
method. (Round proportion to 4 decimal places, e.g.
0.2516 and final answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25.)

Assuming that Windsor could otherwise sell the tomato
puree as-is for $155,000 (instead of turning it into
spaghetti sauce), would you recommend that he process
both of these products past the split-off point? Show
how much better or worse off Windsor would be if the
puree and the juice are both processed further.
