Question 1 (5 points) Listen Premier Maple Syrup, located in Quebec, process maple sap into maple syrup, maple sugar, and maple butter. The company has one manager for each of the three main products. The managers receive bonuses based on the profitability of their individual products. Lately they have been concerned about the impact of the allocations of joint costs on the profitability of each of the product lines. They approached the Director, Justin Trudeau, who explained that several different allocation methods could be used and that the gross margin of each product would change with each method. Trudeau agreed that he would get the accountant (you) to provide the managers with information about product profitability using each of the acceptable joint product cost allocation methods.
