Answer 1

Answer:

$2,213,640

Explanation:

Calculation for the amount of joint costs allocated to product DBB-1 using the sales value at split-off method

First step is to calculate the total amount

DBB-1= 16,000 units *$25

DBB-1= 400,000

DBB-2= 24,000 units *$35

DBB-2= 840,000

DBB-2= 36,000 units *$55

DBB-2= 1,980,000

Total =3,220,000

(400,000+840,000+1,980,000)

Second step is to calculate the Weight for DBB-3

Weight for DBB-3= 1,980,000 / 3,220,000 Weight for DBB-3=61.49%

Now let calculate the Joint cost for DBB-3

Joint cost for DBB-3=$36,00,000*61.49%

Joint cost for DBB-3=$2,213,640

Therefore The amount of joint costs allocated to product DBB-1 using the sales value at split-off method is $2,213,640
