Neary Co. produces three products — X, Y, and Z — from a joint process. Each product may be sold at the split-off point or processed further. Additional processing requires no special facilities, and production costs of further processing are entirely variable and traceable to the products involved. Last year all three products were processed beyond split-off. Joint production costs for the year were $60,000. Sales values and costs needed to evaluate Neary's production policy follow.

The amount of joint costs allocated to product X using the sales value at split-off method is:  

Explanation / Answer

Solution:

Total sale value at split off point = $34,300 + $19,000 + $15,000 = $68,300

Sale value at split off for product X = $34,300

Joint cost to be allocated to product X = $60,000 * $34,300 / $68,300 = $30,132
