Total $ 320,000.00 $ 136,000.00

2 Determine the dollar values of the finished-goods inventories for HTP-3, PST-4, and RJ-5 as of October 31. (Round the cost per gallon to the nearest cent).

HTP-3 PST-4 RJ-5


Allocated joint cost $ 65,484.00 $ 43,656.00 $ 26,860.00
Additional processing costs $ 69,920.00 $ 65,280.00 $ 4,800.00

HTP-3 PST-4 RJ-5


Q. Beginning Finished-goods 1,800 5,200 300
Q. Production (+) 70,000 35,000 17,000
Q. Sales (-) 65,000 32,500 15,000
Q. Ending Finished-goods 6,800 7,700 2,300

Cost per gallon $ 1.93 $ 3.11 $ 1.86


Finished-goods balance as of October 31 $ 13,124.00 $ 23,947.00 $ 4,278.00
Solution
3 Suppose Le Monde Company has a new opportunity to sell PST-4 at the split-off point for $3.03 per gallon.
Perpare an analysis showing whether the company should sell PST-4 at the split-off point or continue to process this product further.

Firs sales value per gallons $ 4.80 a


Price assumption at the split-off point $ 3.30 b
$ 1.50 c = a-b
Additional processing costs $ 1.87 d
Variance $ (0.37) e = c-d

Le Monde Company should sell PST-4 on current price, based on the calculation variance comes from discounting current sales price is unfavorable.
