Joint Cost Allocation-Net Realizable Value Method
Nature's Garden Inc. produces wood chips, wood pulp, and mulch. These products are produced through harvesting trees and sending the logs through a
wood chipper machine. One batch of logs produces 20,400 cubic yards of wood chips, 10,400 cubic yards of mulch, and 9,200 cubic yards of wood pulp.
The joint production process costs a total of $34,000 per batch. After the split-off point, wood chips are immediately sold for $25 per cubic yard while wood
pulp and mulch are processed further. The market value of the wood pulp and mulch at the split-off point is estimated to be $22 and $25 per cubic yard,
respectively. The additional production process of the wood pulp costs $5 per cubic yard, after which it is sold for $30 per cubic yard. The additional
production process of the mulch costs $4 per cubic yard, after which it is sold for $27 per cubic yard.

The market value of thewood pulp and mulch at the split-off point is estimated to be $22 and $24 per cubicyard, respectively. The additional production process of thewood pulp costs
$5 per cubic yard, after which it is sold for $30 per cubic yard. The additional production process of the mulch costs
$4 per cubic yard, after which it is sold for $32 per cubic yard. Allocate the jo int costs of production to each product using the net realizable value method.
Joint products A and B emerge from common processing that costs $80,000 and yields 5,000 units of Product A and 4,000 units of Product B. Product A can be sold for $100 per unit. Product B can be sold for $80 per unit. What amount of the joint costs will be assigned to Product A if joint costs are allocated on the basis of the number of units produced? A. $48,780 B. $35,556 C. $44,444 D. $31,220

In process 1, 50 000 kg of material will be processed at a cost of R220 600 worth of material, R40 500 labour and R24 500 overheads. After the basic processing in process 1, thirty percent of the input is transferred to process B. In Process B additional costs of R25 400 are incurred and product B (from process B) can then be sold for R28 per kg. They transfer 60% of the original material input (from process 1) to process 2 and then the remainder to Process D. The products in process D are considered a by-product (By-product D) and have a sales price of R6 per kilogram. The cost involved with the selling of the by-product is R7 000 in total.
