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?

Joint cost allocation
Lovely Lotion Inc. produces three different lotions: hand, body, and foot. The lotions are produced jointly in a mixing process that costs a total of $250 per batch. At the split-off point, one batch produces 80, 40, and 25 bottles of hand, body, and foot lotion, respectively. After the split-off point, hand lotion is sold immediately for $2.50 per bottle. Body lotion is processed further at an additional cost of $0.25 per bottle and then sold for $5.75 per bottle. Foot lotion is processed further at an additional cost of $0.85 per bottle and then sold for $4.00 per bottle. Assume that body and foot lotion could be sold at the split-off point for $3.00 and $3.20 per bottle, respectively.

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.

Before all flavors are added, the smoothies go through a joint mixing process that costs a total of $43 per batch. One batch produces 21.75 cups of blueberry lemon smoothies, 29 cups of orange swirl smoothies, and 36.25 cups of triple berry smoothies. In addition, Gordon has studiously noted that the mixing process necessary for triple berry and blueberry lemon smoothies takes twice as long as it does for orange swirl smoothies. Allocate the joint costs of production to each product using the weighted average method. Round your answers to two decimal places.arrow_forwardJoint cost allocation — weighted average method Gary’s Grooves Co. produces two types of carving knives, one with a handle made of a polymer that looks like walnut wood and another with a handle made with a polymer that looks like red oak. The knives are made through a joint production molding process that produces 380 knife blades for red oak handle knives and 240 knife blades for walnut handle knives at the split-off point. The polymer for the red oak handle knife blades requires twice as much cooling time as the polymer for the walnut handle knife blades, although all knives are removed from the joint molding process at the same time (i.e., once the cooling for the red oak handle knives is complete). The joint production process costs a total of $ 6,000 . This information has been collected in the Microsoft Excel Online file.
