Processing beyond split$-$off and cost allocations

All$-$A$-$Buzz makes three products from a joint production process using honey.

Joint cost for the process for the year is $$246,400.$

Each container of honey butter, jam, and syrup, respectively, contains $16$ ounces, $8$ ounces, and $3$ ounces of product.

a$.$ Determine which products should be processed beyond the split$-$off point.

b$.$ Assume honey syrup should be treated as a by$-$product. Allocate the joint cost based on $(1)$ units produced, $(2)$ weight, and $(3)$ sales value at split$-$off. Use the net realizable value approach,

assuming by$-$product revenues reduce joint production costs.

$(1)$ joint cost allocated based on units produced

$(2)$ joint cost allocated based on weight

$(3)$ joint cost allocated based on sales value at split$-$off

Note: Round proportions to the nearest whole percentage and dollar amounts to the nearest whole dollar.
