Question

Iaci Company makes two products from a common input. Joint processing costs up to the split-off point total $42,000 a year. The company allocates these costs to the joint products on the basis of their total sales values at the split-off point. Each product may be sold at the split-off point or processed further. Data concerning these products appear below: Product X Product Y Total Allocated joint processing costs $22,400 $19,600 $42,000 Sales value at split-off point $32,000 $28,000 $60,000 Costs of further processing $11,600 $25,300 $36,900 Sales value after further processing $44,800 $53,200 $98,000 Required: (a) What is the net monetary advantage (disadvantage) of processing Product X beyond the split-off point?

Answer:

Net monetary advantage = $11,200

Explanation:

Sales

<em>A company should process further a product if the additional revenue from the split-off point is greater than than the further processing cost.  </em>

<em>Also note that all costs incurred up to the split-off point are irrelevant to the decision to process further </em>.  

We can apply this principle to the question as follows:

                                                                              $

Sales revenue after the split-off point            44,800

Sales revenue at the split-off point             <u>    (32,000) </u>

Additional sales revenue                                  12,800  

Further processing cost                                   <u>  (11,600) </u>

Increase in Net income                                      <u> 11,200</u>

Net monetary advantage = $11,200

<em>Kindly note that the allocated joint cost of 22, 400 to product X is a sunk cost. This implies whether or not the Product X is processed further the sunk cost is irrelevant to the decision</em>

labwork [276]

Answer:

$2,560,000

Explanation:

impairment loss = division's book value - division's fair market value = $3,080,000 - $2,320,000 = $760,000

Assets held for sale are no longer depreciated, but they must be recorded at lower value between carrying cost and fair market value. Since the fair market value is lower than carrying value, then an impairment loss results.

loss on discontinued operations = loss from operations 2019 + impairment loss = $1,800,000 + $760,000 = $2,560,000

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer: b. an asset for the bank and a liability for Kellie's Print Shop. The loan does not increase the money supply.

Explanation:

Banks make money by loaning out money to people and companies. This means that loans are an asset to banks because it enables them to generate cash.

Kellie's Print Shop will have to pay back to loan however which means that it is a liability to them because they owe the bank.

This loan will not increase the money supply because if not explicitly stated that it does, we assume that the loan was made from bank deposits by other bank customers which means that it is already part of the money supply.
