How much in joint costs does Harrow allocate to each product?
Compute the cost of ending inventory for each of Harrow's products.
If Harrow were to use the constant gross-margin percentage NRV
method instead, how would it allocate its joint costs?
Calculate the gross margin on the sale of the product for human use in March
under the constant gross-margin percentage NRV method.
Suppose that the separation process also yields 260 pints of a toxic
byproduct. Harrow currently pays a hauling company $6,100 to dispose of this
byproduct. Harrow is contacted by a firm interested in purchasing a modified
form of this byproduct for a total price of $7,300. Harrow estimates that it will
cost about $40 per pint to do the required modification. Should Harrow accept
the offer?
More info
Chemicals costing $45,000 are mixed and heated, then a unique separation
process then extracts the drug from the mixture. A batch yields a total of 3,600
gallons of the chemicals. The first 3,000 gallons are sold for human use while the
last 600 gallons, which contain impurities, are sold to veterinarians. The costs
of mixing, heating, and extracting the drug amount to $649,200 per batch. The
output sold for human use is pasteurized at a total cost of $168,000 and is sold for
$630 per gallon. The product sold to veterinarians is irradiated at a cost of $19 per
gallon and is sold for $490 per gallon.
