Northern Company processes 100 gallons of raw materials into 75 gallons of product GS-50 and 25 gallons of GS-80. GS-50 is further processed into 50 gallons of product GS-505 at a cost of $6,200, and GS-80 is processed into 50 gallons of product GS-805 at a cost of $4,175.
The production process starts at point 1. A total of $20,000 in joint
Required:
Allocate the joint product costs and then compute the cost per unit using each of the following methods: (1) physical measure, (2) sales value at split-off, and (3) net realizable value. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to nearest whole dollar amount.)

- Corporation manufactures three products from a joint process. The three products are in industrial grade form at the split off point. They can either be sold at that point or processed further into premium grade. Costs related to each batch of this process is as follows: Product 1 Product 2 Product 3 Sales Price at split-off point $16 $12 $5 Allocated joint costs $6,000 $6,000 $6,000 Sales Price after further processing $20 $18 $14 Cost of further processing $6,360 $1,420 $2,650 Product Quantity 1,000 lb. 1,000 lb. 1,000 Ib. Q. What would be the additional amount of profit that Corp. would gain from further processing the product(s) that is/are more profitable to process further rather than be sold at the split-off point?arrow_forwardMobil Manufacturing purchases a liqid raw material. The material was refined into 3 complete products; neon, argon, and xenon. In the manufacturing process, the 3 products undergo a joint process that has a total cost of $160,000, which includes the cost of the liquid raw material. We learn that 25,000 gallonw of argon can be sold for $45,000 immediately after the completion of the joint production process, without any further processing. 30,000 gallons of xenon are processed in a second department for an extra cost of $66,000 and was sold for $120,000. 60,000 gallons of neon was processed in a third department at an extra cost of $119,000 and was sold for $175,000. Both xenon and neon can be sold at the split-off point for $40,000 and $60,000. Question: Show the allocation of the joint costs among the 3 products using physical unit method, sales value at split-off method, and constant gross margin method.arrow_forwardElsa 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?arrow_forward
- Rare Bhd. produces 'Rare Q' in a lengthy mixing and cooling process. Base materials are introduced at the start of this process, and further chemicals are added when it is 80% complete. Each kilogram of base materials produces 1 kilogram of Rare Q. Data for October are: Opening work in process: 40 kg of base materials, 25% processed Cost of opening work in process: Base materials RM1,550 Processing RM720 Costs incurred in October: Conversion costs RM6,864 Further chemicals RM7,200 Closing work in process: 50kg of base materials, 90% processed Finished output: 65 kg of Rare Q. Under normal conditions there are no losses of base materials in this process. However, in October, 5kg of partially complete Rare Q were spoiled immediately after the further chemicals had been added. The 5kg of spoiled Rare Q were not processed to finished goods stage and were sold for a total of RM200. Using the FIFO method, calculate the value of Cost of conversion cost per equivalent unit.

Costs of $7,500 in direct materials and $4,720 in conversion costs were incurred in manufacturing those units in the previous period. Kramer ended the current period with 20,100 units completed and 5,010 units still in process. Work in process was 100% complete as to materials and 70% complete as to conversion costs.
