Fruity Delight produces two products – fruit juice and fruit pulp – from a joint process. The joint cost of production is $28, 000. 500 kg of fruit pulp can be sold at split-off for $5 per kg; or processed further at an additional cost of $7, 500 into 750.00 kg of jam and be sold for $8.00 per kg. 10, 000 litres of fruit juice can be sold at split-off for $2.70 per litre; or processed further at an additional cost of $3500.00 into 2000.00 litres of fruit juice concentrate and be sold for $30 per litre. What is the difference in profit if the company decides to process further fruit pulp instead of selling it at split-off? Please put a negative sign to indicate a decrease and round your answer to two decimal places if necessary. 2$

Processing costs are $3,000 to process the 1,000 gallons of Duo into 800 gallons of Big and 200 gallons of Mini. The selling price is $9 per gallon for Big and $4 per gallon for Mini. If the sales value at split-off method is used to allocate joint costs to the final products, the per-gallon cost (rounded to the nearest cent) of producing Big is Select one: a. $5.00 per gallon. b. $5.63 per gallon. c. $4.50 per gallon.

The Tempura Spirits Company produces two products—methanol (wood alcohol) and turpentine—by a joint process. Joint costs amount to $124,000 per batch of output. Each batch totals 9,500 gallons: 25% methanol and 75% turpentine. Both products are processed further without gain or loss in volume. Separable processing costs are methanol, $4 per gallon, and turpentine, $2 per gallon. Methanol sells for $22 per gallon. Turpentine sells for $16 per gallon. Q. The company has discovered an additional process by which the methanol (wood alcohol) can be made into a pleasant-tasting alcoholic beverage. The selling price of this beverage would be $55 a gallon. Additional processing would increase separable costs $12 per gallon (in addition to the $4 per gallon separable cost required to yield methanol). The company would have to pay excise taxes of 20% on the selling price of the beverage. Assuming no other changes in cost, what is the joint cost applicable to the wood alcohol (using the NRV…

Autry Company manufactures veterinary products. One joint process involves refining a chemical (dactylyte) into two chemicals: dac and tyl. One batch of 5,000 gallons of dactylyte can be converted to 2,000 gallonsof dac and 3,000 gallons of tyl at a total joint processing cost of $12,000. At the split-off point, dac can be sold for $3 per gallon and tyl can be sold for $4 per gallon.Autry has just learned about a new process to convert dac into prodac. The new process costs $4,000 and yields 1,700 gallons of prodac for every 2,000 gallons of dac. Prodac sells for $5 per gallon. Should Autry process dac further? a. No, income will decrease by $1,500. b. No, income will decrease by $5,000. c. Yes, income will increase by $1,500. d. Yes, income will increase by $5,000. e. It doesn't matter; income will be the same.

Hal, Dal, & Stal Dairy Farmers, Inc., produces whole milk, 2% milk, and cream. The joint cost of producing these three products is $4,000. The split-off quantities of each product are 3,500 gallons of whole milk, 1,500 gallons of 2% milk, and 500 gallons of cream. The company can sell whole milk and cream at the split-off point, but 2% milk must be processed further before being sold. Whole milk and cream sell for $2.00 per gallon and $3.00 per gallon, respectively, at the split-off point. Although 2% milk requires further processing to be sold, management estimates a market value of $1.00 per gallon for 2% milk at the split-off point. Using the market value at split-off method, determine the amount of the total joint cost to be allocated to each product.
