Explanation / Answer

Answer

a. Relative Sales Basis Products A B C Inventory

1. Number of units 1,000 500 500

2. Unit sale price $20 $200 $160

3. Sales value, (1) x (2) $20,000 $100,000 $80,000

4. Percent of sales value 10% 50% 40%

5. Allocation of joint cost of $20,000                                    $2,000 $10,000 $8,000

6. Allocated joint cost per unit (5) ÷ (1) $ 2 $ 20 $ 16               (I have corrected figure)

7. Units in ending inventory 100 200 300                                    (I have corrected figure)

8. Joint costs included in ending inventory valuation (6) x (7) $200 $4,000 $4,800    $9,000 (Total)

Assume that Product C can be sold for $200 a unit if it is processed after split-off at a cost of $25 a unit. Compute that amount of joint cost that would be included in the ending inventory valuation of the three products on the basis of their adjusted sales values.?
