joint costs
11y ago#1Have you watched the free lecture on joint costs?
The sales value of the production is (12000 x 10) + (10000 x 12) = 240,000
Therefore the joint costs for X are ((10000 x 12) / 240,000) x 776160 = 388080
Therefore the cost per unit for X are 388080 / 10,000 = 38.808.
There are 2,000 units in inventory (10000 - 8000) and these will be valued at $38.808 per unit.
