Chapter 16, Problem 16.40P
Joint-cost allocation, process further or sell. Mountainair Construction Company (MCC) crushes boulders to obtain decorative rock, which they sell through various outlets. The process produces three grades of rock, which are viewed as joint products: Red Rock, a high-end decorative rock; White Rock, commonly used for landscaping purposes; and Gravel, used for driveway filler.
For each 2,000 pounds of boulder, MCC produces 400 pounds of Red Rock, 600 pounds of White Rock, and 1,000 pounds of Gravel. Data for August are provided below:
| Red Rock | White Rock | Gravel | |
| Production (pounds) | 8,000 | 12,000 | 20,000 |
| Selling price per pound at split off | $10.00 | $7.00 | $3.50 |
Joint costs are $190,000; there was no beginning or ending inventory. Because the Red Rock is sold at a premium, it is processed further to ensure uniformity of the rocks. The
Required
- 1. Allocate joint costs under each of the four methods. For the physical measure, use pounds of production.
- 2. Mr. Green, the president of MCC, wants to understand which method is best to use. Explain to Mr. Green the basis for each method and its effect on the financial statements. Also provide your recommendation for MCC and a rationale for that recommendation.

- Arkansas Corporation manufactures liquid chemicals A and B from a joint process. It allocates joint costs on the basis of sales value at split-off. Processing 4,300 gallons of product A and 1,400 gallons of product B to the split-off point costs $5,200. The sales value at split-off is $3.00 per gallon for product A and $21.50 per gallon for product B. Product B requires additional separable processing beyond the split-off point at a cost of $2.80 per gallon before it can be sold at a price of $34 per gallon.

These products are produced through harvesting trees and sending the logs through a wood chipper machine. One batch of logs produces 20,304 cubic yards of wood chips, 14,100 cubic yards of mulch, and 9,024 cubic yards of wood pulp. The joint production process costs a total of $32,000 per batch. After the split-off point, wood chips are immediately sold for $ 25.00 per cubic yard while wood pulp and mulch are processed further. The market value of the wood pulp and mulch at the split-off point is estimated to be $22.00 and $24.00 yard, after which it is sold for $ 30.00 per cubic yard. The additional production process of the mulch costs $ 4.00 per cubic yard, after which it is sold for $ 32.00 per cubic yard.
