Choi Company manufactures two skin care lotions, Smooth Skin and Silken Skin, from a joint process. The joint costs incurred are $340,000 for a standard production run that generates 140,000 pints of Smooth Skin and 180,000 pints of Silken Skin. Smooth Skin sells for $3.60 per pint, while Silken Skin sells for $5.30 per pint. Required: 1. Assuming that both products are sold at the split-off point, how much of the joint cost of each production run is allocated to Smooth Skin using the relative sales value method? 2. If no separable costs are incurred after the split-off point, how much of the joint cost of each production run is allocated to Silken Skin using the physical measure method? 3. If separable processing costs beyond the split-off point are $1.00 per pint for Smooth Skin and $1.20 per pint for Silken Skin, how much of the joint cost of each production run is allocated to Silken Skin using a net realizable value method? 4. If separable processing costs beyond the split-off point are $1.00 per pint for Smooth Skin and $1.20 per pint for Silken Skin, how much of the joint cost of each production run is allocated to Smooth Skin using a physical measure method? (For all requirements, do not round intermediate calculations. Round final answers to nearest whole dollar amounts.) Cost allocation is often the centerpiece of conflict that is resolved in court cases. The litigation usually involves the dispute over how costs are allocated to a product or product line that is of interest to the plaintiff. This is particularly an issue when a company produces some products or services for a price-competitive market while other products or services are produced for a governmental unit on a cost-plus or reimbursement basis. Nursing Care Incorporated, or NCl, operates both a small nursing home and a retirement home. There is a single kitchen used to provide meals to both the nursing home and retirement home, meaning labor costs and utilities costs of the kitchen are shared by the two homes. There is also a centralized cleaning department that provides the cleaning services for both homes as well as the kitchen. The nursing home serves only indigent patients who are on Medicaid. The state Department of Health and Family Services (DHFS) reimburses NCl at Medicaid-approved cost reimbursement rates. The Medicaid reimbursement rates are based on cost information supplied by NCl. The relevant cost and allocation data for the most recent year appear in the following table. Required: 1. Management of NCl currently allocates the kitchen and cleaning department costs based on the number of residents in each home. Determine the amount of service department costs assigned to each of the homes using this allocation base. 2. DHFS auditors believe the step method of allocation should be used by first assigning cleaning costs based on square feet and then kitchen costs based on number of residents. Determine the amount of service department costs assigned to each of the homes using this allocation method. (Do not round percentages in your calculations.)
