Laredo manufactures Nuts and Bolts from a joint process (cost = $90,000). 6,000 pounds of Nuts can be sold at split-off for $25 per pound; 15,000 pounds of Bolts can be sold at split-off for $20 per pound. For product costing purposes Laredo allocates joint costs using the relative sales value method.
The amount of joint cost allocated to Nuts would be:
$60,000.
$36,000.
$30,000.
$90,000.
$96,000.
Sales value for Nuts = 6000*25 = 150000
sales value for Bolts = 15000*20 = 300000
Total sales value = 150000+300000= 450000
joint cost allocated to Nuts = joint cost * sale value for nuts /total sales value
90000* 150000/450000
30000
correct option is "C"
