The casings are made through a joint production molding process that produces 294 red oak casings and 252 walnut casings at the split-off point. The polymer for the red oak casings requires twice as much cooling time as the polymer for the walnut casings, although all casings are removed from the joint molding process at the same time (i.e., once the cooling for the red oak casings is complete). The joint production process costs a total of $5,000. Assuming the company allocates joint costs using the weighted average method based on the required cooling time of the two joint products, determine the amount of joint production costs allocated to each type of casing using the weighted average method. Joint Product Red oak casing Walnut casing…arrow_forwardPreparing a Standard Cost Card -Redwing EXO-7 Industries manufactures a Redwing reconnaissance drone.
