Argon Manufacturing Company processes direct materials up to the split off point where two main products (U and V), and one by-product , X, are obtained and sold. The following information was collected for last quarter of the calendar year:
Direct materials processed: 10,000 gallons (note: processing results in some shrinkage of material )
Production: | Product U | 4500 gallons | ||
Product V | 4600 gallons | |||
By product | Product X | 1700 | ||
Sales price: | Product U | $150.00 per gallon | ||
Product V | $100.00 per gallon | |||
by-product | Product X | 10.00 per gallon |
The cost of purchasing 10,000 gallons of direct materials and processing it up to the split off point was $975,000.
How much of the $975,000 of joint costs are allocated to the by-product using the production method to account for by-product cost?
By products cost using the Cost of production method | ||
Sales: | ||
Product U (4500 galans X 150 per galan | 675000 | |
Product Y (4600 galans X 100 per galan | 460000 | |
Cost of sales | 975000 | |
Less : by product X 1700 @ $10 per gallen | -17000 | |
Net production cost (975000-17000) | 958000 | |
Gross profit (675000+460000-958000) | 177000 | |
In production method the total production cost less by products revenue then we will arive the net cost of production | ||
Sales less net cost of production will arrive the Gross profit | ||
