Problem 2:
Mike's Meats incurs costs of $4,000 while processing raw chicken meat into three products: breasts, wings, and thighs. The meat is then sold to local grocery stores based on the following.
Sales Price per lb. Quantity produced (lbs)
Breast $2.00 3,000
Wings $0.50 1,000
Thighs $1.00 2,000
Required: (Calculate relative quantity to three decimal points.)
1. Determine the cost and gross profit percentage for each type of chicken using the physical units method of joint cost allocation.
2. Repeat part (a) using the sales-value-at-split-off method of joint cost allocation.
3. The company has an opportunity to sell wings to local restaurants for $1.00 per pound but additional packaging is required, which will cost $300 per 1,000 lb. Assuming the physical unit method is used to allocate joint costs, should the offer be accepted?

  • Three methods of allocating joint costs

    The three methods are the (1) physical units at split off, (2) the relative sales value at split off and (3) estimated net realizable value or "NRV" method (final selling price less the cost to process after the split off point).

  • Joint Cost, Called Physical Output and Net Realizable Value

    This method of allocating the joint costs is used when the actual sales value of the joint products at the split off point cannot be ascertained. Net realizable value= final sales value of the products- costs incurred after split off point.

  • Alternative methods of joint-cost allocation

    The solution explains allocation of joint costs under sales value at split off, physical measures method and estimated net realizable value.

  • Joint cost problems

    In this case we calculate the sales value at split off and use that to allocate the joint costs Sales value of MSB = 60,000 X $5 = $300,000 Sales value of CBL = 90,000 X $10 = $900,000 Total = 1,200,000 Cost allocated to MSB = 300,000/1,200,000 X

  • Relative Sales Value Method - Joint Costs

    Using the relative sales value method (Using the sales price at split off), calculate the joint product cost that would be allocated to M and S. Solution: The relative sales value method is otherwise called as the sales value at split off method.

  • Winchester: Joint products sell or process; split offs and finished goods inventories

    Calculation of profit IF sold at split off point If process further November production in gallons 320000 320000 Sales value per gallon at split-off $3.0000 Final sales value per gallon $6.3750 Sales revenue $960,000 $2,040,000

  • Cost allocation accounting

    The second method is the relative-sales-value method. Under this approach, joint cost allocation is based on the relative sales value of each joint product at the split-off point. The third method is the net-realizable-value method.

  • Calculating Joint Cost and Completed Cost: Sawmill Example

    Calculate the amount of joint cost allocated to commercial building lumber (CBL) on a physical units basis. 2. Calculate the amount of joint cost allocated to the mine support braces (MSB) on a relative-sales value basis. 3.

  • Gross Margins for Stowers Corporation Manufacturers

    Required: a) If Stowers allocates joint costs on the basis of relative total sales value at the split-off point, what is the cost per gallon of each product at the split-off point?
