Hi. Please provide solution in good form.

I.

Clarion Company, a new firm, manufactures two products, J and K, in a common process. The joint costs amount to $80,000 per batch of finished goods. Each batch results in 20,000 liters of output, of which 80% are J and 20% are K.

The two products are processed beyond the split-off point, with Clarion incurring the following separable costs: J, $2 per liter; K, $5 per liter. After the additional processing, the selling price of J is $12 per liter, and the selling price of K is $15 per liter.

Required:

A. Determine the proper allocation of joint costs if the company uses the net-realizable-value method.

B. Assume that Clarion sold all of its production of K during the current accounting period. Compute K's sales revenue, cost of goods sold, and gross margin.

C. Is the firm's cost-of-goods-sold figure influenced by the choice of a joint-cost allocation method? Briefly explain.

II.

Suppose that one hog yields 250 pounds of ham, 200 pounds of chops, and 50 pounds of miscellaneous items. The sales value of ham is $1.80 per pound; chops, $2.50 per pound; and miscellaneous items, $1.00 per pound. The hog costs $670, and processing costs are $30.

Required:

A. Determine the proper allocation of joint costs to the three products by using the physical-units method.

B. Repeat part "B" by using the relative-sales-value method.
