Answer:
Northwest Building Products (NBP)
The completed cost that should be assigned to each unit of CB is $5.18.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Joint cost = $450,000
Residential building lumber (RBL) produced = 80,000 units
Commercial building lumber (CBL) produced = 120,000 units
Total units produced = 200,000
RBL selling price per unit = $10; Total revenue = $800,000
CBL selling price per unit = $12; Total revenue = $1,440,000
Total revenue for RBL and CBL = $2,240,000
a. Joint costs allocation on physical measure method:
RBL = $450,000 * 80,000/200,000 = $180,000
CBL = $450,000 * 120,000/200,000 = $270,000
b. Joint costs allocation on sales value basis:
RBL = $450,000 * $800,000/$2,240,000 = $160,714
CBL = $450,000 * $1,440,000/$2,240,000 = $289,286
c. Net Realizable value after further processing:
RBL: Completed cost = $380,000 ($180,000 + $200,000)/
Total revenue = $960,000 ($12 * 80,000)
Total cost of production 380,000
Net realizable value = $580,000
CBL: Completed cost = $570,000 ($270,000 + $300,000)
Total revenue = $1,540,000 (110,000 * $14)
Total cost of production = 570,000
Net realizable value = $970,000
Cost per CBL = $5.18 ($570,000/110,000)
