Question 1
Harmon Inc. produces joint products L, M, and N from a joint process. Information concerning a batch produced in May at a joint cost of $90,000 was as follows:
L | M | N | Total | ||||||
Separable Processing cost | $ | 11,500 | $ | 28,000 | $ | 6,500 | $ | 46,000 | |
Units Produced | 1,800 | 4,000 | 4,900 | 10,700 | |||||
Sales Value (after addt’l processing) | $ | 66,000 | $ | 57,500 | $ | 16,000 | $ | 139,500 | |
The amount of joint costs allocated to product L using the physical measure method is (calculate all ratios and percentages to 4 decimal places, for example 33.3333%, and round all dollar amounts to the nearest whole dollar):
Multiple Choice
$33,645.
$37,324.
$41,215.
$30,999.
$15,140.
Harmon Inc. produces joint products L, M, and N from a joint process. Information concerning a batch produced in May at a joint cost of $110,000 was as follows:

The amount of joint costs allocated to product N using the net realizable value method is (calculate all ratios and percentages to 4 decimal places, for example 33.3333%, and round all dollar amounts to the nearest whole dollar):
Multiple Choice
$14,217.
$15,291.
$35,022.
$46,245.
$59,686.
Question 1 –
Physical measure method uses the units produced, weight or volume as a basis to allocate the joint cost among the products.
Hence, we need to use Units Produced to allocate joint cost:
Joint Cost allocated to Product L (based on units produced) = Total Joint Costs $90,000 * L’s Unit Produced 1,800 Units / Total Units 10,700 Units
= $90,000 * 1800 / 10,700
= $15,140
The correct option is $15,140
