    A company manufactures two main products, J and K, and the by-product L. The by-product has a net realisable value of $2 per litre. The following information relates to last month, when there were no opening inventories.

     
    Product

    J. K. L

    Litres. Litres. Litres

    Production

    50,000. 40,000. 10,000

    Sales. 45,000. 30,000. 10,000

     
    Joint costs last month were $290,000. Company policy is to apportion joint costs on a physical measure basis and to treat the net realisable value of the by-product as a deduction from the cost of the main products.

    What was the cost value of last month’s closing inventory of product J?

    (i) $13,500
    (ii) $16,200
    (iii) $16,400
    (iv) $15,000

    Please do not simply set test questions and expect answers.

    You must have answers in the same book in which you found the questions, and so ask about whatever it is in the answers that you are not clear about and then I will help you.

    My free lectures cover everything needed to be able to answer all these questions, and I do suggest that you watch them. The lectures are a complete free course for Paper F2 and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
