Question

1. A company produces tow products from logs, grade a lumber and grade b lumber. Joint costs are $180000. Grade A lumber has a sale value at split-off of $252000 and Grade Blumber has a sales value of $378000. Using the sales value method allocate the joint costs to the two products. 2.

2. A company produces two products from logs, grade A and grade B lumber. Grade A lumber is not sold at split-off point but is processed further with additional costs of $98000 into Grade AA lumber. It then has a sales value of $260000. Grade B is still sold at split-off for $378000. Using the net realizable sales value method allocate the joint costs of $180000.

3. A company produces two products from logs, Grade A and Grade B lumber. The company produces 1400 board feet of grade A and 1960 board feet of Grade B. joint costs of $180000 are allocated using the physical quantities metod. Calculate the amount allocated to Grade A and Grade B lumber.

4. A company can sell grade B lumber for $378000 at the split-off or can process it further into Grade BB lumber. The additional processing would be $20000 and the revenue from Grade BB lumber would be $416000. Should the company sell Grade B lumber or process it further?
