Hi.

Quatro Corporation manufactures two chemicals (Flextra and Hydro) in a joint process. Data from a recent month follow.

Direct materials used: $360,000

Direct labor: $150,000

Manufacturing overhead: $690,000

Manufacturing output:

Flextra: 40,000 gallons

Hydro: 120,000 gallons

Flextra sells for $15 per gallon and Hydro sells for $20 per gallon.

Required:

A. Compute the total joint costs to be allocated to Flextra and Hydro.

B. Compute the joint costs that would be allocated to Flextra by using the physical-units method.

C. Compute the joint costs that would be allocated to Hydro by using the relative-sales-value method.

D. Assume that Hydro can be converted into a more refined product, Hydro-R, in a totally separable process at an additional cost of $4 per gallon. If the refined product can be sold in the marketplace for $26 per gallon, compute the net realizable value of Hydro-R.
