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.

In a joint processing operation, Nolen Company manufactures three grades of sugar from a common input, sugar cane. Joint processing costs up to the split-off point total $42,100 per year. The company allocates these costs to the joint products on the basis of their total sales value at the split-off point. These sales values are as follows: raw sugar, $21,700; brown sugar, $21,700; and white sugar, $24,700. Each product may be sold at the split-off point or processed further. Additional processing requires no special facilities. The additional processing costs and the sales value after further processing for each product (on an annual basis) are shown below: Product Additional Processing Costs Sales Value Raw sugar $ 19,600 $ 40,100 Brown sugar $ 14,800 $ 38,000 White sugar $ 5,900 $ 42,500 Required: a. Compute the Incremental profit (loss) for each product. (Loss amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)

Crane's woodworking business produces two products from its joint process: one main product (sanded and finished trim pieces) and one by-product (sawdust/shavings). The joint process has a cost of $31,000, which results in trim pieces worth $47,000 and sawdust/shavings that can be sold for $2,800. If Crane uses the production method to account for by-products, determine how much of the joint process cost will be allocated to each product. In other words, how much inventory cost will be recorded for each product? Main product By-product Allocated joint costs $

Atlas Foods produces three supplemental food products simultaneously through a refining process costing $85,000. The joint products, Alfa and Betters, have a final selling price of $8 per pound and $5 per pound, respectively, after additional processing costs of $3 per pound of each product are incurred after the split-off point. Morefeed, a by-product, is sold at the split- off point for $2.50 per pound. Additional information are as follows: Alfa - 15,000 pounds of Alfa, a popular but relatively rare grain supplement of having a caloric value of 8,800 calories/pound. Betters - 5,000 pounds of Betters, a flavouring material high in carbohydrates with a caloric value of 12,000 calories/pound. Morefeed - 2,000 pounds of Morefeed, used as a cattle feed supplement with a caloric value of 1,000 calories/pound. Questions: 1. Assuming Atlas Foods does not inventory Morefeed, the by-product, the joint cost to be allocated to Betters using the net realizable method is?

Elsa Products processes Chem-Z into two products: Chem-A and Chem-B. Chem-Z costs $42,000 per batch. The joint process produces 11,250 units of Chem-A with a market value of $135,000, and 20,000 units of Chem-B with a market value of $33,750. The conversion cost of the joint process is $13,400 per batch. Elsa Products allocates joint costs using the physical quantities method. The company never holds any inventory. Required: What cost (total, not unit) and profit will be reported for each product using the current method for allocating joint costs? If the costs of the joint process are allocated on the basis of the net realizable value of the products, what cost (total, not unit) and profit will be reported for each product? How much will profit at Elsa Products increase or decrease if the company switches to the net realizable value method for allocating joint process costs?

In a joint processing operation, Nolen Company manufactures three grades of sugar from a common input, sugar cane. Joint processing costs up to the split-off point total $41,800 per year. The company allocates these costs to the joint products on the basis of their total sales value at the split-off point. These sales values are as follows: raw sugar, $21,000; brown sugar, $21,000; and white sugar, $23,100. Each product may be sold at the split-off point or processed further. Additional processing requires no special facilities. The additional processing costs and the sales value after further processing for each product (on an annual basis) are shown below: Product Raw sugar Brown sugar White sugar Additional Processing Costs $ 21,200 $ 14,600 $ 5,300 Sales Value $40,500 Incremental profit (loss) $37,300 $44,400 Required: a.

McKenzie’s Soap Sensations, Inc., produces hand soaps with three different scents: morning glory, snowflake sparkle, and sea breeze. The soap is produced through a joint production process that costs $30,000 per batch. Each batch produces 14,800 bottles of morning glory hand soap, 12,000 bottles of snowflake sparkle hand soap, and 10,000 bottles of sea breeze hand soap at the split-off point. Each product is processed further after the split-off point, but the market value of a bottle of any of the flavors at this point is estimated to be $1.25 per bottle. The additional processing costs of morning glory, snowflake sparkle, and sea breeze hand soap are $0.50, $0.55, and $0.60 per bottle, respectively. Morning glory, snowflake sparkle, and sea breeze hand soap are then sold for $2.00, $2.20, and $2.40 per bottle, respectively. 1. Using the net realizable value method, allocate the joint costs of production to each product.  2. Using the Market Value at Split Off Point Method, allocate…

Wexpro, Incorporated, produces several products from processing 1 ton of clypton, a rare mineral. Material and processing costs total $71,000 per ton, one-fourth of which is allocated to product X15. Six thousand five hundred units of product X15 are produced from each ton of clypton. The units can either be sold at the split-off point for $17 each, or processed further at a total cost of $8,800 and then sold for $22 each. Required: 1. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of further processing product X15? 2. Should product X15 be processed further or sold at the split-off point? 1. 2. Product X15 should be

Pacheco, Inc., produces two products, overs and unders, in a single process. The joint costs ofthis process were $50,000, and 14,000 units of overs and 36,000 units of unders were produced.Separable processing costs beyond the split-off point were as follows: overs, $18,000; unders,$23,040. Overs sell for $2.00 per unit; unders sell for $3.14 per unit.Required:1. Allocate the $50,000 joint costs using the estimated net realizable value method.2. Suppose that overs could be sold at the split-off point for $1.80 per unit. Should Pacheco sellovers at split-off or process them further? Show supporting computations.

The Marshall Company has a joint production process that produces two joint products and a by-product. The joint products are Ying and Yang, and the by-product is Bit. Marshall accounts for the costs of its products using the net realizable value method. The two joint products are processed beyond the split-off point, incurring separable processing costs. There is a $1,500 disposal cost for the by- product. A summary of a recent month's activity at Marshall is shown below: Ying 75,000 75,000 $ 210,000 $ 15,000 $ 6.00 Total joint costs for Marshall in the recent month are $211,000, of which $90,730 is a variable cost.
