DEF Corporation engages in a joint production process that incurs total costs of $400,000. This process results in the creation of two products: Product M and Product N. The production quantities and net realizable values per unit are as follows:Product M: 8,000 units sold for $7 per unitProduct N: 12,000 units sold for $4 per unitUsing the net realizable value method of apportionment, determine the cost per unit of Product M.Question 1Answera.$23.07b.$91.50c.$26.92d.$92.86
Question
DEF Corporation engages in a joint production process that incurs total costs of 7 per unitProduct N: 12,000 units sold for 23.07b.26.92d.$92.86
Solution
To solve this problem, we first need to calculate the total net realizable value (NRV) for each product.
For Product M: 8,000 units * 56,000
For Product N: 12,000 units * 48,000
The total NRV is the sum of the NRVs of Product M and Product N, which is 48,000 = $104,000.
Next, we calculate the proportion of the total NRV that each product represents.
For Product M: 104,000 = 0.5385 (or 53.85%)
For Product N: 104,000 = 0.4615 (or 46.15%)
We then allocate the total joint cost of $400,000 based on these proportions.
For Product M: 215,400
Finally, we calculate the cost per unit for Product M by dividing the allocated cost by the number of units.
For Product M: 26.925
So, the cost per unit of Product M is approximately 26.92.
