a.
Calculate the net realizable value of Beta-1 for the year ended November 30.
a.

Answer to Problem 68P
The net realizable value for Beta-1 is $375,000.
Explanation of Solution
Net realizable value method:
Net realizable value method is used to allocate the cost in the proposition of their net realizable market value at the split-off point. If the product can be sold at the split-off point then the selling price of that product at a split-off point is used as the base for the calculation of cost allocation.
Calculate the net realizable value for Beta-1:
Thus, the net realizable value for Beta-1 is $375,000.
