Chapter 16, Problem 16.25E
Alternative methods of joint-cost allocation, ending inventories. The Cook Company operates a simple chemical process to convert a single material into three separate items, referred to here as X, Y, and Z. All three end products are separated simultaneously at a single splitoff point.
Products X and Y are ready for sale immediately upon splitoff without further processing or any other additional costs. Product Z, however, is processed further before being sold. There is no available market price for Z at the splitoff point.
The selling prices quoted here are expected to remain the same in the coming year. During 2017, the selling prices of the items and the total amounts sold were as follows:
- X—68 tons sold for $1,200 per ton
- Y—480 tons sold for $900 per ton
- Z—672 tons sold for $600 per ton
The total joint
There were no beginning inventories of X, Y, or Z. At the end of the year, the following inventories of completed units were on hand: X, 132 tons; Y, 120 tons; Z, 28 tons. There was no beginning or ending work in process.
- 1. Compute the cost of inventories of X, Y, and Z for balance sheet purposes and the cost of goods sold for income statement purposes as of December 31, 2017, using the following joint-cost-allocation methods:
Required
- a. NRV method
- b. Constant gross-margin percentage NRV method
- 2. Compare the gross-margin percentages for X, Y, and Z using the two methods given in requirement 1.

Product X-547 is one of the joint products in a joint manufacturing process. Management is considering whether to sell X-547 at the split-off point or to process X-547 further into Xylene. The following data have been
gathered:
1. Selling price of X-547
II. Variable cost of processing X-547 into Xylene.
III. The avoidable fixed costs of processing X-547 into Xylene.
IV. The selling price of Xylene.
V. The joint cost of the process from which X-547 is produced.

- A company manufactures two joint products at a joint cost of 1,000. These products can be sold at split-off, or when further processed at an additional cost, sold as higher quality items. The decision to sell at split-off or further process should be based on the: A. allocation of the 1,000 joint cost using the quantitative unit measure B. assumption that the 1,000 joint cost is irrelevant C. allocation of the $1,000 joint cost using the relative sales value approach D. assumption that the 1,000 joint cost must be allocated using a physical-measure approach E. allocation of the 1,000 joint cost using any equitable and rational allocation basisarrow_forwardACE Company makes two products A and B.
