Similarly, a person who has never harmed others is the kind one. This answer is also not enough to describe a trustworthy person.

In order to calculate the joint cost of Gorp we need to understand what the method means and how it's used to calculate it. The adjusted sales method is used to allocate joint costs based on the prices the products are sold.
First of all we need to calculate the percentage of Selling price of Gorp to that of the total selling price of both Gorp and Gumm.
I.e: 60 ÷ (60+30) × 100
SP % of Gorp= 66.67%
Now we calculate joint cost allocated to Gorp.
Total joint cost of both Gorp and Gumm = $480000
Joint cost of Gorp = $480000 × 66.67%
Joint cost of Gorp = $320,000
