Distribution of joint cost on the basis of physical quantities.
Since the number of gallons of both oils are given, best method to distribute the joint cost will be based on physical quantities.
Total Joint Cost = $92,500
Distribution of joint cost.
Refined oil = 92,500 * 30,000 / (30,000 + 15,000)
Refined oil = 92,500 * 30,000 / 45,000
Refined oil = 61,667
Top Quality oil = 92,500 * 15,000 / (30,000 + 15,000)
Top Quality oil = 92,500 * 15,000 / 45,000
Top Quality oil = 30,333
