Physical Units Method

Alomar Company manufactures four products from a joint production process: barlon, selene, plicene, and corsol. The joint costs for one batch are as follows:

Direct materials	$67,900
Direct labor	34,000
Overhead	25,500

At the split-off point, a batch yields 1,400 barlon, 2,600 selene, 2,500 plicene, and 3,500 corsol. All products are sold at the split-off point: barlon sells for $15 per unit, selene sells for $20 per unit, plicene sells for $26 per unit, and corsol sells for $35 per unit.

Required:

1. Allocate the joint costs using the physical units method. If required, round your percentage allocation to four decimal places and round allocated costs to the nearest dollar.

	Allocated Joint Cost
Barlon	$fill in the blank 1
Selene	fill in the blank 2
Plicene	fill in the blank 3
Corsol	fill in the blank 4
Total	$fill in the blank 5

2. Suppose that the products are weighted as shown below:

Barlon	1.0
Selene	2.0
Plicene	1.5
Corsol	2.5

Allocate the joint costs using the weighted average method. If required, round your percentage allocation to four decimal places and round allocated costs to the nearest dollar.

	Allocated Joint Cost
Barlon	$fill in the blank 6
Selene	fill in the blank 7
Plicene	fill in the blank 8
Corsol	fill in the blank 9
Total	$fill in the blank 10
