Chapter 16, Problem 16.27E
Joint-cost allocation, sales value, physical measure, NRV methods. Tasty Foods produces two types of microwavable products: beef-flavored ramen and shrimp-flavored ramen. The two products share common inputs such as noodle and spices. The production of ramen results in a waste product referred to as stock, which Tasty dumps at negligible costs in a local drainage area. In June 2017, the following data were reported for the production and sales of beef-flavored and shrimp-flavored ramen:
Due to the popularity of its microwavable products, Tasty decides to add a new line of products that targets dieters. These new products are produced by adding a special ingredient to dilute the original ramen and are to be sold under the names Special B and Special S, respectively. Following are the monthly data for all the products:
- 1. Calculate Tasty’s gross-margin percentage for Special B and Special S when joint costs are allocated using the following:
Required
- a. Sales value at splitoff method
- b. Physical-measure method
- c. Net realizable value method

Select the appropriate cost drivers for the indirect costs and allocate these costs to Departments M and N. Determine the total estimated cost of the products made in Departments M and N. Assume that Yalland produced 2,000 units of Product M and 4,000 units of Product N during the year.

In July 2017, Sweeney reported the following production and selling-price information:arrow_forwardA company manufactures two joint products at a joint cost of 1,000. These products can be sold at split-off, or when further processed at an additional cost, sold as higher quality items. The decision to sell at split-off or further process should be based on the: A. allocation of the 1,000 joint cost using the quantitative unit measure B. assumption that the 1,000 joint cost is irrelevant C. allocation of the $1,000 joint cost using the relative sales value approach D. assumption that the 1,000 joint cost must be allocated using a physical-measure approach E. allocation of the 1,000 joint cost using any equitable and rational allocation basisarrow_forwardCicleta Manufacturing has four activities: receiving materials, assembly, expediting products, and storing goods. Receiving and assembly are necessary activities; expediting and storing goods are unnecessary. The following data pertain to the four activities for the year ending 20x1 (actual price per unit of the activity driver is assumed to be equal to the standard price): Required: 1. Prepare a cost report for the year ending 20x1 that shows value-added costs, non-value-added costs, and total costs for each activity. 2. Explain why expediting products and storing goods are non-value-added activities. 3. What if receiving cost is a step-fixed cost with each step being 1,500 orders whereas assembly cost is a variable cost? What is the implication for reducing the cost of waste for each activity?arrow_forward
