The document discusses how to allocate joint costs among joint products using different methods (sales value at splitoff, physical measure, and net realizable value), and how it affects gross margin percentages for each product.

Joint costs are allocated differently among products depending on the method used - sales value, physical units, or net realizable value. This results in different gross margin percentages for each product under each method.

Dashel's analysis was incorrect and misleading because it considered joint costs in the decision, when only incremental costs and revenues past the splitoff point are relevant. Fancy Foods should sell the stock.

Problem 16-27 Joint-cost allocation, sales value, physical measure, and NRV meth

1. Calculate Fancy's gross margin percentage for Special B and Special S when joint costs are allo
allocated using the following:

a. Sales value at splitoff method


Allocation of joint costs Beef Ramen Shrimp Ramen
Sales value of total production at splitoff point 100,000 560,000
Weighting 15% 85%
Joint costs allocated 60,000 340,000

Revenues 425,000 1,122,000
Less: Joint costs allocated 60,000 340,000
Separable costs 100,000 238,000
Gross margin 265,000 544,000
Gross margin percentage 62.35% 48.48%

b. Physical-measure method
Allocation of joint costs Beef Ramen Shrimp Ramen
Physical measuer of total production (tons) 20,000 28,000
Weighting 42% 58%
Joint costs allocated 168,000 232,000

Product-Line Income Statement Special B Special S


Revenues 425,000 1,122,000
Less: Joint costs allocated 168,000 232,000
Separable costs 100,000 238,000
Gross margin 157,000 652,000
Gross margin percentage 36.94% 58.11%

c. Net realizable value method


Allocation of joint costs Beef Ramen Shrimp Ramen
Final sales value of total production during accounting period 425,000 1,122,000
Less: Separable costs 100,000 238,000
Net realizable value at splitoff point 325,000 884,000
Weighting 27% 73%
Joint costs allocated 108,000 292,000

Product-Line Income Statement Special B Special S


Revenues 425,000 1,122,000
Less: Joint costs allocated 108,000 292,000
Separable costs 100,000 238,000
Gross margin 217,000 592,000
Gross margin percentage 51.06% 52.76%

2. Compute how Dashel arrive at the loss of $2,435 from marketing the stock as joint using sales v
at splitoff method, and what about her analysis? Should Fancy sell the stock?
