The Carter Corporation makes products A and B in a joint process from a single input, R. During a typical production run, 50,000 units of R yield 20,000 units of A and 30,000 units of B at the split-off point. Joint production costs total $90,000 per production run. The unit selling price for A is $4.00 and for B is $3.80 at the split-off point. However, B can be processed further at a total cost of $60,000 and then sold for $7.00 per unit. In a decision between selling B at the split-off point or processing B further, which of the following items is not relevant: Answer Choices: -the $60,000 cost to process B beyond the split-off point. -the $3.80 unit sales price of B at the split-off point -the portion of the $90,000 joint production cost alocated to B -the $7 unit selling price for B after further processing

Man OFort Inc. produces two different styles of door handles, standard and curved. 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.
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?
