Problem 11-59 Estimated Net Realizable Value and Effects of Processing Further (LO 11-7, 9)

Fletcher Fabrication, Inc., produces three products by a joint production process. Raw materials are put into production in Department X, and at the end of processing in this department, three products appear. Product A is sold at the split-off point with no further processing. Products B and C require further processing before they are sold. Product B is processed in Department Y, and product C is processed in Department Z. The company uses the estimated net realizable value method of allocating joint production costs. Following is a summary of costs and other data for the quarter ended June 30.

No inventories were on hand at the beginning of the quarter. No raw material was on hand at June 30. All units on hand at the end of the quarter were fully complete as to processing.

Products	A			B			C
Pounds sold		21,000			63,000			72,000
Pounds on hand at June 30		45,000			0			39,000
Sales revenues	$	13,650		$	110,250		$	129,600

Departments	X			Y			Z
Raw material cost	$	59,000		$	0		$	0
Direct labor cost		26,500			42,550			99,800
Manufacturing overhead		12,000			9,000			33,175
