Answer:
Allocated join cost = $66,176.47
Explanation:
<em>The joint cost is allocated using sales. This is done by using the proportion of sales of the total which is attributed to the sales value of widget</em>
Total sales value of the three products=
(75 × 5,000) + ($50× 8,750) + ( $25× 10,000)= 1,062,500
Joint cost = $187,500.
Joint costs allocated to Widget
= (75 × 5,000)/1,062,500 × $187,500. = 66,176.47
Allocated join cost =$66,176.47
