Chapter 16, Problem 16.33P
Alternative methods of joint-cost allocation, product-mix decisions. The Chicago Oil Company buys crude vegetable oil. Refining this oil results in four products at the splitoff point: A, B, C, and D. Product C is fully processed by the splitoff point. Products A, B, and D can individually be further refined into Super A, Super B, and Super D. In the most recent month (November), the output at the splitoff point was as follows:
- Product A, 550,000 gallons
- Product B, 200,000 gallons
- Product C, 150,000 gallons
- Product D, 100,000 gallons
The joint costs of purchasing and processing the crude vegetable oil were $210,000. Chicago had no beginning or ending inventories. Sales of product C in November were $90,000. Products A, B, and D were further refined and then sold. Data related to November are as follows:
| Separable |
Revenues | |
| Super A | $480,000 | $750,000 |
| Super B | 120,000 | 300,000 |
| Super D | 90,000 | 150,000 |
Chicago had the option of selling products A, B, and D at the splitoff point. This alternative would have yielded the following revenues for the November production:
- Product A, $150,000
- Product B, $125,000
- Product D, $135,000
-
- 1. Compute the gross-margin percentage for each product sold in November, using the following methods for allocating the $210,000 joint costs:
Required
- a. Sales value at splitoff
- b. Physical measure
- c. NRV
- 2. Could Chicago Oil have increased its November operating income by making different decisions about the further processing of products A, B, or D? Show the effect on operating income of any changes you recommend

The cost of purchasing 2,500 liters of direct materials and processing it up to the splitoff point
to yield a total of 2,000 liters of good products was $4,500. There were no inventory balances
of A and B.
Product A may be processed further to yield 1,375 liters of Product Z5 for an additional
processing cost of $150. Product Z5 is sold for $25.00 per liter. There was no beginning
inventory and ending inventory was 125 liters.
Product B may be processed further to yield 375 liters of Product W3 for an additional
processing cost of $275. Product W3 is sold for $30.00 per liter. There was no beginning
inventory and ending inventory was 25 liters.
