Valiant Petro products refines crude oil to produce gasoline and kerosene. Joint costs incurred during the month of May were $1,800,000. Gasoline requires further processing to be marketable and hence a further processing cost of $100,000 was incurred. Kerosene also requires further processing to be marketable and hence a further processing cost of $200,000 was incurred. Gasoline was sold at $4 per gallon and kerosene at $3.50 per gallon. During the month of May, 500,000 gallons of gasoline and 600,000 gallons of kerosene were processed. What is the production cost per gallon of gasoline for the month of May using the NRV method? Assume there was no beginning inventory.

Alpha makes ceramic vases out of specialized clay. During July, it purchased 500 kgs of clay at $60 per kg. It started manufacture of 4,000 vases and completed 3,200 vases during the month. The remaining 800 vases are in process at the end of the month. It incurred direct labor charges of $500 and other conversion costs of $400, which included electricity costs of $200. Alpha had no beginning or ending inventory of DM (clay). It also had no beginning inventory of vases. At the end of the period, the 800 vases in progress were 100% complete for direct materials (DM) and 50% complete for conversion costs. 12) What is the total conversion costs for the month of July? 13) What is the number of equivalent units completed for conversion costs? 14) What is the conversion cost per equivalent unit for the year? 15) How much are direct materials costs for the month? diroot motorials2
Beverage Drink Company processes direct materials up to the splitoff point where two products, A and B, are obtained. The following information was collected for the month of July: Production: A 1500 liters, B 500 liters. The joint cost was $10000. There were no inventory balances of A and B. Product A may be processed further to yield 1500 liters of Product Z5 for an additional processing cost of $2 per liter. Product Z5 is sold for $20 per liter. There was no beginning inventory and ending inventory was 150 liters. Product B may be processed further to yield 500 liters of Product W3 for an additional processing cost of $4. Product W3 is sold for $30 per liter. There was no beginning inventory and ending inventory was 50 liters. --using constant gross-margin percentage NRV method, gross margin of X: Select one: a. $6500 b. $14600 c. $5400 O d. $18900 + 3 ...
Kingston Specialty Corporation manufactures joint products P and Q. During a recent period, joint costs amounted to $90,000 in the production of 20,000 gallons of P and 50,000 gallons of Q. Kingston can sell P and Q at split-off for $2.00 per gallon and $2.20 per gallon, respectively. Alternatively, both products can be processed beyond the split-off point, as follows: P Q Separable processing costs $ 22,000 $ 42,000 Sales price (per gallon) if processed beyond split-off $ 4 $ 6 what woulkd be the joint cost allocated to Q under the relative-sales-value method ?

Madison Electric Company uses a fossil fuel (coal) plant for generating electricity. The facility can generate 900 megawatts (million watts) per hour. The plant operates 600 hours during March. Electricity is used as it is generated; thus, there are no inventories at the beginning or end of the period. The March conversion and fuel costs are as follows:Conversion costs $40,500,000Fuel 10,800,000 Total $51,300,000 Madison also has a wind farm that can generate 100 megawatts per hour. The wind farm receives sufficient wind to run 300 hours for March. The March conversion costs for the wind farm (mostly depreciation) are as follows: Conversion costs $2,700,000a. Determine the cost per megawatt hour (MWh) for the fossil fuel plant and the wind farm to identify the lowest cost facility in March.b. Why are…

Husky Wheat Products (HWP) extracts and processes wheat germ. There were no beginning inventories at March 1. During March, HWP processed 10,000 kilograms of wheat and obtained 9,500 kg of wheat germ and 500 kgs of straw. Processing the 10,000 kilograms of wheat costs HWP $15,000. HWP sells 8,000 kgs of wheat germ for $4.00 per kg. In addition, HWP sells 400 kilograms of straw for $0.80 per kilogram. HWP treats the straw as a by-product. Required (treat each requirement independently): 1. Assuming HWP accounts for the by-product using the production method, what is the value of the ending inventory for each product(s) at March 31? 2. Assuming HWP accounts for the by-product using the sales method, what is the value of the ending inventory for each product(s) at March 31?
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.
To continue with no 4. Assume Sweet Corporation repacks the syrup into 1-liter cartons in the Packing Dept before it sells these to the candy factories. During the month of June it received the 8,000 gallons of syrup from the first department and completed production for 7,500 gallons in the second department. The costs of the resources used by Sweet consist of the following in the second department: Materials $25,200 and conversion cost of $49,920 including 30% applied overhead based on direct labor. It is estimated that the work in process is only 60% complete. Materials in the form of one liter cartons are applied at the end of the processing. Required: Compute for the cost of syrup completed and the cost of the syrup still in process at the end of June. If a gallon is equal to approximately 4 liters and predetermined selling price per liter is $15 per carton which is lower than the price of the competitor which is $18, will a GPR of 30% be achievable? Assume further that…

Northwest Building Products (NBP) manufactures two lumber products from a joint milling process: residential building lumber (RBL) and commercial building lumber (CBL). A standard production run incurs joint costs of $486,000 and results in 86,400 units of RBL and 129,600 units of CBL. Each RBL sells for $10 per unit and each CBL sells for $12 per unit. Required: 1. Assuming that no further processing occurs after the split-off point, how much of the joint costs are allocated to commercial lumber (CBL) on a physical measure method basis? 2. If no further processing occurs after the split-off point, how much of the joint cost is allocated to the residential lumber (RBL) using a sales value at split-off method? 3. Assume that the CBL is not marketable at split-off but must be planed and sized at a cost of $324,000 per production run. During this process, 10,800 units are unavoidably lost and have no value. The remaining units of CBL are salable at $14 per unit. The RBL, although…
