Christiansen Corporation manufactures joint products W and X.
During a recent period, joint costs amounted to $450,000 in the
production of 20,000 gallons of W and 50,000 gallons of X. Both
products will be processed beyond the split-off point, giving rise
to the following data:
W | X | |
Separable processing costs | $40,000 | $160,000 |
Sales price (per gallon) if processed beyond split-of | $15 | $13 |
The joint cost allocated to W under the net-realizable-value method would be: (Do not round your intermediate calculations.)
$128,571.
$110,000.
$142,105.
$156,000.
None of these.
Answer : $156,000
Explanation :
W | X | |
---|---|---|
Units | 20,000 gallons | 50,000 gallons |
* Sales price per gallon | $15 | $13 |
= Sales value | $300,000 | $650,000 |
- Separable processing costs | ($40,000) | ($160,000) |
Net-realizable-value (NRV) | $260,000 | $490,000 |
Joint cost allocated to W under the net-realizable-value method
= (NRV of Producct W / NRV of total production) * Joint Costs
= [$260,000 / ($260,000 + $490,000) ] * $450,000
= ($260,000 / $750,000) * $450,000
= $156,000
