An oil refinery company engages in a joint production process that incurs total costs of $800,000. This process results in the creation of three different products: Product A, Product B, and By-product C. The production quantities are as follows:Product A: 100,000 unitsProduct B: 50,000 unitsBy-product C: 20,000 unitsBy-product C is sold for $3 per unit.Using the physical method of apportionment, determine the cost per unit of Product A.Question 13Answera.$4.70b.$4.93c.$5.33d.$4.35
Question
An oil refinery company engages in a joint production process that incurs total costs of 3 per unit.Using the physical method of apportionment, determine the cost per unit of Product A.Question 13Answera.4.93c.4.35
Solution
The physical method of apportionment allocates joint costs based on the proportion of each product's output to the total output.
First, we need to subtract the revenue from By-product C from the total costs. By-product C is sold for 3 * 20,000 = $60,000.
Subtract this from the total costs: 60,000 = $740,000. This is the total cost that needs to be apportioned to Product A and Product B.
The total production quantity of Product A and Product B is 100,000 units + 50,000 units = 150,000 units.
The cost per unit of Product A is therefore 4.93 per unit.
So, the answer is b. $4.93.
