- 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. Using the net realizable value method, allocate the joint costs of production to each product. 2. Explain why McKenzies Soap Sensations, Inc., always chooses to process each varietyof hand soap beyond the split-off point. 3. If demand for all products was the same, which product should McKenzies Soap Sensations, Inc., produce in the highest quantity?arrow_forwardBreegle Company produces three products (B-40, J-60, and H-102) from a single process. Breegle uses the physical volume method to allocate joint costs of 22,500 per batch to theproducts. Based on the following information, which product(s) should Breegle continue toprocess after the split-off point in order to maximize profit? a. B-40 only b. J-60 only c. H-102 only d. B-40 and H-102 onlyarrow_forwardTucariz Company processes Duo into two joint products, Big and Mini. Duo is purchased in 1,000-gallon drums for 2.000. Processing costs are 3,000 to process the 1,000 gallons of Duointo 800 gallons of Big and 200 gallons of Mini. The selling price is 9 per gallon for Big and4 per gallon for Mini. If the physical units method is used to allocate joint costs to the finalproducts, the total cost allocated to produce Mini is: a. 500. b. 4,000. c. 1,000. d. 4,500.arrow_forward
- Man OFort Inc. produces two different styles of door handles, standard and curved. The door handles go through a joint production molding process costing 29,000 per batch and producing 2,000 standard door handles and 1,000 curved door handles at the split-off point. Both door handles undergo additional production processes after the split-off point, but could be sold at that point: the standard style for 4 per door handle and the curved style for 2 per door handle. Determine the amount of joint production costs allocated to each style of door handle using the market value at split-off method.arrow_forwardOakes Inc. manufactured 40,000 gallons of Mononate and 60,000 gallons of Beracyl in a joint production process, incurring 250,000 of joint costs. Oakes allocates joint costs based on the physical volume of each product produced. Mononate and Beracyl can each be sold at the split-off point in a semifinished state or, alternatively, processed further. Additional data about the two products are as follows: An assistant in the companys cost accounting department was overheard saying ...that when both joint and separable costs are considered, the firm has no business processing either product beyond the split-off point. The extra revenue is simply not worth the effort. Which of the following strategies should be recommended for Oakes?arrow_forwardJoint Cost Allocation—Physical Units Method Board-It, Inc., produces the following types of 2 × 4 × 10 wood boards: washed, stained, and pressure treated. These products are produced jointly until they are cut. One batch produces 45 washed boards, 35 stained boards, and 20 pressure treated boards. The joint production process costs a total of $710 per batch. Using the physical units method, allocate the joint production cost to each product.

The swords are made through a joint production process that ultimately produces 42 broadswords and 28 longswords and costs a total of $4,200 per batch. After the split-off point, each type of sword goes through an additional crafting process before it is sold. The additional production process of the broadsword costs $42 per sword, after which it is sold for $174 per sword. The additional production process of the longsword costs $28 per sword, after which it is sold for $148 per sword.

After the split-off point, each type of shotgun goes through an additional crafting process before it is sold. The additional production process of the 12-gauge shotgun costs $40 per gun, after which it is sold for $176 per gun. The additional production process of the 20-gauge shotgun costs $26 per gun, after which it is sold for $146 per gun.
