Products X and Y are ready for sale immediately upon splitoff without further processing or any other additional costs. Product Z, however, is processed further before being sold. There is no available market price for Z at the splitoff point. The selling prices quoted here are expected to remain the same in the coming year.

X -60 tons sold for$1,500 per ton

Y -260 tons sold for$1,000 per ton

Z -470 tons sold for$700 per ton

The total joint manufacturing costs for the year were

$328,000.Takita spent an additional

$200,000 to finish product Z. There were no beginning inventories of X, Y, or Z. At the end of the year, the following inventories of completed units were on hand: X,

240 tons; Y,140 tons; Z,30 tons. There was no beginning or ending work in process.

Compute the cost of inventories of X, Y, and Z for balance sheet purposes and the cost of goods sold for income statement purposes as of December 31, 2017, using the following joint-cost-allocation methods:
	a.	NRV (Net realizable value) method
b.	Constant gross-margin percentage NRV method
2.	Compare the gross-margin percentages for X, Y, and Z using the two methods given in requirement 1.

The Takita Company operates a simple chemical process to convert a single material into three separate items, referred to here as X,Y, and Z. All three end products are separated simultaneously at a single splitoff point. (Click the icon for additional information.) During 2017, the selling prices of the items and the total amounts sold were as follows: (Click the icon to view the sales information.) Read the requirements. (YOU ONLY NEED TO DO REQUIREMENT 1 PART A!) Requirement 1. Compute the cost of inventories of X,Y, and Z for balance sheet purposes and the cost of goods sold for income statement purposes as of December 31, 2017, using the (a) NRV, and the (b) constant gross-margin pereentage NRV cost alloeation methods. (a) Start with the NRV cost allocation method. Begin by computing the net realizable value for total production at the point of splitoff and the weighting for each product. (Enter the weights to two decimal places.) Calculate the joint costs allocated to each of the three products and enter them into the table below. Next, enter the additional costs to process each product after the split, if any, to determine the total production costs of each product using the NRV method. (Enter a "0" for any cells with a zero balance.)
