Joint cost allocation
McKenzie’s Soap Sensations, Inc., produces hand soaps with three different scents: morning glory, snowflake sparkle, and sea breeze. The soap is produced through a joint production process that costs $30,000 per batch. Each batch produces 14,800 bottles of morning glory hand soap, 12,000 bottles of snowflake sparkle hand soap, and 10,000 bottles of sea breeze hand soap at the split-off point. Each product is processed further after the split-off point, but the market value of a bottle of any of the flavors at this point is estimated to be $1.25 per bottle. The additional processing costs of morning glory, snowflake sparkle, and sea breeze hand soap are 10.50, $0.55, and $0.60 per bottle, respectively. Morning glory, snowflake sparkle, and sea breeze hand soap are then sold for $2.00, $2.20, and $2.40 per bottle, respectively.
Instructions
- 1. Using the net realizable value method, allocate the joint costs of production to each product.
- 2. Explain why McKenzie’s Soap Sensations, Inc., always chooses to process each variety of hand soap beyond the split-off point.
- 3. If demand for all products was the same, which product should McKenzie’s Soap Sensations, Inc., produce in the highest quantity?

The door handles go through a joint production molding process costing 29,000 per batch and producing 2,000 standard door handles and 1,000 curved door handles at the split-off point. Both door handles undergo additional production processes after the split-off point, but could be sold at that point: the standard style for 4 per door handle and the curved style for 2 per door handle. Determine the amount of joint production costs allocated to each style of door handle using the market value at split-off method.arrow_forward
- Oakes Inc. manufactured 40,000 gallons of Mononate and 60,000 gallons of Beracyl in a joint production process, incurring 250,000 of joint costs. Oakes allocates joint costs based on the physical volume of each product produced. Mononate and Beracyl can each be sold at the split-off point in a semifinished state or, alternatively, processed further. Additional data about the two products are as follows: An assistant in the companys cost accounting department was overheard saying ...that when both joint and separable costs are considered, the firm has no business processing either product beyond the split-off point. The extra revenue is simply not worth the effort. Which of the following strategies should be recommended for Oakes?arrow_forwardTucariz Company processes Duo into two joint products, Big and Mini. Duo is purchased in 1,000-gallon drums for 2.000. Processing costs are 3,000 to process the 1,000 gallons of Duointo 800 gallons of Big and 200 gallons of Mini. The selling price is 9 per gallon for Big and4 per gallon for Mini.

- Joint Cost Allocation-Physical Units Method Medieval Blacksmith Co. produces two types of decorative swords, a broadsword and a longsword. The swords are made through a joint production process that ultimately produces 30 broadswords and 20 longswords and costs a total of $4,000 per batch. After the split-off point, each type of sword goes through an additional crafting process before it is sold. The additional production process of the broadsword costs $30 per sword, after which it is sold for $180 per sword. The additional production process of the longsword costs $25 per sword, after which it is sold for $150 per sword.
