Joint-cost allocation, sales value, physical measure, NRV methods. Tasty Foods produces two types of microwavable products: beef-flavored ramen and shrimp-flavored ramen. The two products share common inputs such as noodle and spices. The production of ramen results in a waste product referred to as stock, which Tasty dumps at negligible costs in a local drainage area. In June 2017, the following data were reported for the production and sales of beef-flavored and shrimp-flavored ramen:
Due to the popularity of its microwavable products, Tasty decides to add a new line of products that targets dieters. These new products are produced by adding a special ingredient to dilute the original ramen and are to be sold under the names Special B and Special S, respectively. Following are the monthly data for all the products:
- 1. Calculate Tasty’s gross-margin percentage for Special B and Special S when joint costs are allocated using the following:
Required
- a. Sales value at splitoff method
- b. Physical-measure method
- c. Net realizable value method

- Under the physical measure method, how would the joint costs be allocated to Seduction and Romance?arrow_forwardThis cost data from Hickory Furniture is for the year 2017. Using the high-low method, express the companys utility costs as an equation where X represents number of tables produced. Predict the utility costs if 800 tables are produced. Predict the utility costs if 600 tables are produced. Using Excel, create a scatter graph of the cost data and explain the relationship between number of tables produced and utility expenses.arrow_forwardClassify each of the customer-level operating costs as a customer output unit–level, customer batchlevel, or customer-sustaining cost.arrow_forward
- (Physical measure joint cost allocation) Powisett Farms Dairy began opera-tions at the start of May 2010. Powisett Farms operates a fleet of trucks to gather whole milk from local farmers. The whole milk is then separated into two joint products: skim milk and cream. Both products are sold at the split-off point to dairy wholesalers. For May, the firm incurred the following joint costs:Whole milk purchase cost $400,000Direct labor costs 180,000Overhead costs 292,000Total product cost $872,000During May, the firm processed 2,000,000 gallons of whole milk, producing 1,555,500 gallons of skim milk and 274,500 gallons of cream. The remaining gallons of the whole milk were lost during processing. There was no Raw Material or Work in Process Inventory at the end of May.After the joint process, the skim milk and cream were separately processed at costs, respectively, of $67,660 and $83,310.

The company’s two departments are named after the products; for example, Product M is made in Department M. Yalland’s accountant has identified the following annual costs associated with these two products. Identify the costs that are (1) direct costs of Department M, (2) direct costs of Department N, and (3) indirect costs. Select the appropriate cost drivers for the indirect costs and allocate these costs to Departments M and N. Determine the total estimated cost of the products made in Departments M and N. Assume that Yalland produced 2,000 units of Product M and 4,000 units of Product N during the year. If Yalland prices its products at cost plus 40 percent of cost, what price per unit must it charge for Product M and for Product N?arrow_forwardCalculate the manufacturing cost per unit of HJ6 in 2016.arrow_forward
- Cicleta Manufacturing has four activities: receiving materials, assembly, expediting products, and storing goods. Receiving and assembly are necessary activities; expediting and storing goods are unnecessary. The following data pertain to the four activities for the year ending 20x1 (actual price per unit of the activity driver is assumed to be equal to the standard price): Required: 1. Prepare a cost report for the year ending 20x1 that shows value-added costs, non-value-added costs, and total costs for each activity. 2. Explain why expediting products and storing goods are non-value-added activities. 3. What if receiving cost is a step-fixed cost with each step being 1,500 orders whereas assembly cost is a variable cost? What is the implication for reducing the cost of waste for each activity?arrow_forwardKelp Company produces three joint products from seaweed. At the split-off point, three basic products emerge: Sea Tea, Sea Paste, and Sea Powder. Each of these products can either be sold at the split-off point or be processed further. If they are processed further, the resulting products can be sold as delicacies to health food stores. Cost and revenue information is as follows.

The vertical axes of the graphs below represent total cost, and the horizontal axes represent units produced during a calendar year. In each case, the zero point of dollars and production is at the intersection of the two axes. Select the graph that matches the numbered manufacturing cost data (requirements 1-9). Indicate by letter which graph best fits the situation or item described. The graphs may be used more than once. Annual depreciation of equipment, where the amount of depreciation charged is computed by the machine-hours method. Electricity bill—a flat fixed charge, plus a variable cost after a certain number of kilowatt-hours are used, in which the quantity of kilowatt-hours used varies proportionately with quantity of units produced.
