Product X-547 is one of the joint products in a joint manufacturing process. Management is considering whether to sell X-547 at the split-off point or to process X-547 further into Xylene. The following data have been gathered: 1. Selling price of X-547 II. Variable cost of processing X-547 into Xylene. III. The avoidable fixed costs of processing X-547 into Xylene. IV. The selling price of Xylene. V. The joint cost of the process from which X-547 is produced. Which of the above items are relevant in a decision of whether to sell the X-547 as is or process it further into Xylene? Multiple Choice I, II, and IV. I, II, III, and IV. II, III, and V. I, II, III, and V.

When operating in a constrained environment, which products should be produced? A. products with the highest contribution margin per unit B. products with the highest contribution margin per unit of the constrained process C. products with the highest selling price D. products with the lowest allocated joint cost
Business Unit A, the supplying business unit, is selling to an outside market. It has excess capacity and can use it to transfer product to the receiving business unit, Business Unit B. Business Unit A does not incur incremental fixed costs in the production of the units supplied to Business Unit B. The formula to calculate the transfer price in this scenario is:? Group of answer choices a. (Total variable costs + incremental fixed cost) ÷ total units supplied b. (Total variable costs + Contribution margin lost) ÷ total units supplied c. Total variable costs ÷ total units supplied d. (Total variable costs + incremental fixed costs + Contribution margin lost) ÷ total units supplied
When management believes that there is a direct link between the joint costs incurred and the value of products before further processing takes place, the _____ is the best alternative to allocating joint costs. A.physical measures methodB.NRV methodC.sales value at splitoff methodD.constant grossmargin percentage method
Which of the following statements is true? An avoidable fixed production cost incurred before the split-off point in a joint process is relevant in a sell or process further decision. It is profitable to continue processing joint products after the split-off point if their total revenues exceed the joint costs. Which of the following statements is true? Consistency demands that a cost that is relevant in one decision be regarded as relevant in other decisions as well. Variable costs are always relevant costs in decisions.
“ Managers must decide whether a product should be sold at splitoff or processed furthur.The sales value at splitoff method of joint-cost allocation is the best method for generating the information managers need for this decision.”Do you agree? Explain.

Products G and H are joint products developed from the same process with each being processed further. Joint costs are incurred until split-off, the separable costs are incurred in further refining each product. Sales values of G and H at split-off are used to allocate joint costs.

G- increases and H increases D. G- decreases and H decreases
