Question

Walman Corp. manufactures products X, Y, and Z from a joint production process. Joint costs are allocated to products on the basis of relative sales value at the split-off point. Additional information is as follows: X Y Z Total Units produced 14,000 10,000 6,000 30,000 Joint costs $204,000 $90,000 $66,000 $360,000 Sales value at split-off ? 150,000 110,000 600,000 Additional costs for further processing 38,000 30,000 22,000 90,000 Sales value if processed further 348,000 185,000 147,000 680,000 Product X’s sales value at the split-off point is:______________

Answer 1

Answer:

$340,000

Explanation:

The computation of Product X’s sales value at the split-off point is shown below:

= Total sales value - Product Y sales value at the split-off point - Product Z sales value at the split-off point  

= $600,000 - $150,000 - $110,000

= $340,000

Basically for determining the Product X sales value at the split-off point, we deduct the Product Y sales value and the Product Z sales value at the split-off point from the total sales value
