Question

PT TOBA produces two types of products both TAKO and TAKI through joint production process. Both products must be further processed and then it can be sold. In April 2016 the production cost incurred consisted of a prime cost of $ 10,000, a direct labor cost of $ 4,000 and a conversion cost of $ 14,000. The production process in April produced 500 units of TAKO and 2,000 TAKI units. The cost for further processing TAKO is $ 5 per unit and TAKI $ 10 per unit. The selling price of TAKO and TAKI per unit is $ 25 and $ 20.

Requested: During April 2016 has sold 400 units of TAKO and 1700 units of TAKI, using the NRV method, calculate the gross profit earned in April 2016.

Explanation / Answer

Under the net realizable value method, we allocate the joint costs based on the (net sales value - seperable cost);

Using the NRV of production we can allocate the total joint production costs:

Allocation to TAKO = 28000 X (10000/30000) = $9333.33

Allocation to TAKI = 28000 X (10000/30000) = $18666.67

Total Cost of TAKO = $11833.33

Total Cost of TAKI = $38666.67

Cost per Unit of TAKO = 11833.33/500 = 23.66

Cost per Unit of TAKi = 38666.67/2000 = 19.33

Gross Profit can be Calculated as (Sales Value per Unit - Total Cost per Unit) X Sales Units

GP for TAKO = (25 - 23.66) X 400 = $533.33

GP for TAKI = (20 - 19.33) X 1700 = $1,133.33

Total Gross Profit = $1666.67
