Q3) Products X, Y and Z are manufactured in a single joint process. Production costs for a period totalled $71,350. 2,500 kilogrammes (kg) of material were input to the process. 20% of the input weight was scrapped and sold for $4.70 per kg. The sales value of the scrap is credited to the process account. Output of the three joint products totalled 2,000 kg. Joint costs are appropriated on the basis of weight?
What was the worst cost per kg manufactured in the period?
Q2) A company manufactures a single product. Unit costs are:
