    Hello sir,

    If sales – 2000 , production – 4000 and sales price is 10/unit – A
    If sales – 2000 , production – 2000 and sales price is 12 /unit – B
    with a joint cost of 10000 what is the total profit on the basis of units produced basis ?

    Cost / unit = 10000/ 6000= 1.67

    Therefore

    Profit of A – 20000 – 6680 = 13320
    Profit of B – 24000 – 3340= 20660

    This if done on the basis of sales value of production

    Cost of A = 40000/64000 X 10000 = 6250
    Cost of B = 24000/64000 X 10000= 3750

    Profit = 20000 – 6250 = 13750
    profit of B = 240000 -3750 = 20250

    But i read somewhere that irrespective of the method total profits should be same which is not the case here. Can you explain why

    The profit will not be the same because there is inventory and the inventory will be valued differently in the two methods.
