Joint cost allocation
Florissa's Flowers jointly produces three varieties of flowers in the same garden: tulips, lilies, and daisies. The flowers are all watered via the same irrigation system and all receive the same amount of water; daisies require three times as much as lilies, and the water required for tulips is about halfway between the amounts needed for daisies and lilies. Although the lilies and tulips receive more water than they need due to the joint irrigation process, they are not hurt by the overwatering. The joint production cost of the three varieties of flowers is about $30 per harvest. Every harvest yields 10 tulips, 20 lilies, and 20 daisies.
Allocate the joint costs of production to each product using the physical units method.

Joint Cost Allocation-Net Realizable Value Method
Lily's Lemonade Stand makes three types of lemonade: pure, raspberry, and strawberry. The lemonade is produced through a joint mixing process that costs a total of
$30 per batch. One batch produces 32 cups of pure lemonade, 21 cups of strawberry lemonade, and 21 cups of raspberry lemonade. After the split-off point, all three
lemonades can be sold for $0.80 per cup, but strawberry and raspberry lemonade can be processed further by adding artificial coloring and flavoring and sold for $0.95
and $1.00 per cup, respectively. It is estimated that these additional processing costs are $0.75 and $1.80 per batch for strawberry and raspberry lemonade, respectively.
Allocate the joint costs of production to each product using the net realizable value method.

Rosie’s Roses produces three colors of roses: red, white, and peach. The roses are produced jointly in the same garden, and aggregately cost a total of $110 per harvest. One harvest produces 80 red roses, 70 white roses, and 50 peach roses. Rosie also noted that the peach roses require a fertilizer that is twice as expensive as the fertilizer required by the white and red roses. However, due to the structure of the shared garden space, the more expensive fertilizer is used for all flower types in a joint production process.

The lotions are produced jointly in a mixing process that costs a total of 250 per batch. At the split-off point, one batchproduces 80, 40, and 25 bottles of hand, body, and foot lotion, respectively. After the split-off point,hand lotion is sold immediately for 2.50 per bottle. Body lotion is processed further at an additional cost of 0.25 per bottle and then sold for 5.75 per bottle. Foot lotion is processed further atan additional cost of 0.85 per bottle and then sold for 4.00 per bottle. Assume that body and footlotion could be sold at the split-off point for 3.00 and 3.20 per bottle, respectively. Instructions 1.

- Joint Cost Allocation—Weighted average method Gordon's Smoothie Stand makes three types of smoothies: blueberry lemon, orange swirl, and triple berry. Before all flavors are added, the smoothies go through a joint mixing process that costs a total of $43 per batch. One batch produces 21.75 cups of blueberry lemon smoothies, 29 cups of orange swirl smoothies, and 36.25 cups of triple berry smoothies. In addition, Gordon has studiously noted that the mixing process necessary for triple berry and blueberry lemon smoothies takes twice as long as it does for orange swirl smoothies.

The wood chips and sawdust are actually by-products of the company’s core operations, but Carving Creations accounts for them just like normally produced goods because of their large volumes. One jointly produced batch yields 3,000 cubic yards of wood chips and 10,000 cubic yards of sawdust, and the estimated cost per batch is $21,400. However, the joint production of each good is not equally weighted. Management at Carving Creations estimates that for the time it takes to produce 10 cubic yards of wood chips in the joint production process, only 2 cubic yards of sawdust are produced. Given this information, allocate the joint costs of production to each product using the weighted average method.

Both door handles undergo additional production processes after the split-off point, but could be sold at that point: the standard style for $10 per door handle and the curved style for $5 per door handle.

- 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 wood chips and sawdust are actually by-products of the company’s core operations, but Custom Carvings accounts for them just like normally produced goods because of their large volumes. One jointly produced batch yields 2,000 cubic yards of wood chips and 6,000 cubic yards of sawdust, and the estimated cost per batch is $27,300. However, the joint production of each good is not equally weighted. Given management estimates for how long it takes to make sawdust vs. wood chips, a weight factor of 14 is used for wood chips in the joint production process, and a weight factor of 2 is used for sawdust.
