Joint Cost AllocationPhysical Units Method

Board-It, Inc., produces the following types of 2 4 10 wood boards: washed, stained, and pressure treated. These products are produced jointly until they are cut. One batch produces 45 washed boards, 35 stained boards, and 20 pressure treated boards. The joint production process costs a total of $710 per batch.

Using the physical units method, allocate the joint production cost to each product. Round your answers to two decimal places.

Joint Cost AllocationMarket Value at Split-off Method

Toil & Oil processes crude oil to jointly produce gasoline, diesel, and kerosene. One batch produces 3,415 gallons of gasoline, 2,732 gallons of diesel, and 1,366 gallons of kerosene at a joint cost of $12,000. After the split-off point, all products are processed further, but the estimated market price for each product at the split-off point is as follows:

Gasoline	$2 per gallon
Diesel	1 per gallon
Kerosene	3 per gallon

Using the market value at split-off method, allocate the $12,000 joint cost of production to each product.

Joint Cost AllocationWeighted Average Method

Carving Creations jointly produces wood chips and sawdust used in agriculture. The wood chips and sawdust are actually by-products of the companys core operations, but Carving Creations accounts for them just like normally produced goods because of their large volumes. One jointly produced batch yields 3,000 cubic yards of wood chips and 10,000 cubic yards of sawdust, and the estimated cost per batch is $21,400. However, the joint production of each good is not equally weighted. Management at Carving Creations estimates that for the time it takes to produce 10 cubic yards of wood chips in the joint production process, only 2 cubic yards of sawdust are produced.

Given this information, allocate the joint costs of production to each product using the weighted average method.
