Cranbrook Chemical Ltd. manufactures two industrial compounds. In the month of May, 15,000 litres of direct material costing $160,000 were processed at a cost of $400,000. The joint process yielded 16,000 containers of a compound known as Jarlon and 4,000 containers of a compound known as Kharton. The respective selling prices of Jarlon and Kharton are $38 and $58. Both products may be processed further. Jarlon may be processed into Jaxton at an incremental cost of $8 per jar of the final product while Kharton may be processed into Kraxton at an additional cost of $32 per jar of the final product. The volume of jars of the final product are: 12,000 and 3,000 for Jaxton and Kraxton respectively. The selling price of Jaxton is $48 per jar. The selling price of Kraxton is $102 per jar. Using the NRV method, the amount of joint costs allocated to Jaxton is: $111,312. $389,592. $170,408. $121,720. $278,280.

The joint cost incurred in this process is $200,000. All three products can be sold at the split-off point; $20 for Product A, $200 for Product B, and $160 for Product C. Alternatively, the products can be processed further and sold at a final stage. The following information relates to processing these products further: Final Selling Price $ 40 300 180 Separable Costs $15,000 30,000 2,000 Product B' C At the inventory at the end of January includes 100 units of Product A, 300 units of Product B, and 200 units of Product C. Required: a. Calculate the value of ending inventory of the three products based on (1) the sales value at split-off and (2) the physical measures approach using units. b. Assume that product A is a byproduct and joint costs are allocated based on number of units. Lakers…
