Question

The Berkel Corporation manufactures Widgets, Gizmos, and Turnbols from a joint process. June production is 5,000 widgets; 8,750 gizmos; and 10,000 turnbols. Respective per unit selling prices at splitoff are $75, $50, and $25. Joint costs up to the splitoff point are $187,500. If joint costs are allocated based upon the sales value at splitoff, what amount of joint costs will be allocated to the widgets

Answer 1

Answer:

Allocated join cost = $66,176.47  

Explanation:

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

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
