- Joint cost allocation McKenzies Soap Sensations, Inc., produces hand soaps with three different scents: morning glory, snowflake sparkle, and sea breeze. The soap is produced through a joint production process thatcosts 30,000 per batch. Each batch produces 14,800 bottles of morning glory hand soap, 12,000bottles of snowflake sparkle hand soap, and 10,000 bottles of sea breeze hand soap at the split-offpoint. Each product is processed further after the split-off point, but the market value of a bottle ofany of the flavors at this point is estimated to be 1.25 per bottle. The additional processing costsof morning glory, snowflake sparkle, and sea breeze hand soap are 10.50, 0.55, and 0.60 perbottle, respectively. Morning glory, snowflake sparkle, and sea breeze hand soap are then sold for2.00, 2.20, and 2.40 per bottle, respectively. Instructions 1.

- Allocating Joint Costs Using the Net Realizable Value Method Please answer in same format as question.arrow_forwardCost allocation to divisions. Forber Bakery makes baked goods for grocery stores and has three divisions: bread, cake, and doughnuts. Each division is run and evaluated separately, but the main headquarters incurs costs that are indirect costs for the divisions. Costs incurred in the main headquarters are as follows: The Forber upper management currently allocates this cost to the divisions equally. One of the division managers has done some research on activity-based costing and proposes the use of different allocation bases for the different indirect costs—number of employees for HR costs, total revenues for accounting department costs, square feet of space for rent and depreciation costs, and equal allocation among the divisions of “other” costs. Information about the three divisions follows: Allocate the indirect costs of Forber to each division equally. Calculate division operating income after allocation of headquarter costs.

- Detailed processarrow_forwardPlantwide versus Departmental Rates, Product-Costing Accuracy: Activity-Based Costing Ramsey Company produces speakers (Model A and Model B). Both products pass through two producing departments. Model A’s production is much more labor-intensive than that of Model B. Model B is also the more popular of the two speakers. The following data havebeen gathered for the two products: Required:1. Compute the overhead cost per unit for each product by using a plantwide rate based on direct labor hours. (Note: Round to two decimal places.)2. Compute the overhead cost per unit for each product by using ABC. (Note: Round rates and unit overhead cost to two decimal places.)3. Suppose that Ramsey decides to use departmental overhead rates. There are two departments: Department 1 (machine intensive) with a rate of $3.50 per machine hour and Department 2 (labor intensive) with a rate of $0.90 per direct labor hour.
