1. Calculate Fancy's gross margin percentage for Special B and Special S when joint costs are allo
allocated using the following:
b. Physical-measure method
Allocation of joint costs Beef Ramen Shrimp Ramen
Physical measuer of total production (tons) 20,000 28,000

Joint costs allocated 168,000 232,000
2. Compute how Dashel arrive at the loss of $2,435 from marketing the stock as joint using sales v
