Multiple Choice
1 .
The costs of production that yield multiple products simultaneously are known as
[
Hint
]
byproduct costs.
separable costs.
manufacturing costs.
joint costs.
2 .
A product produced in a joint process that has a low sales value is known as a(n)
[
Hint

main product.
byproduct.
joint product.
primary product.
3 .
A method of allocating joint costs that uses volume would be the
[

]
net realizable value method.
sales value at splitoff method.
constant gross-margin percentage NRV method.
physical measures method.
4 .
Oily Slime buys Emils, which is produced until two products can be separated, Ems and Ils. The cost of processing Emils to the split-off point is $50,000. When the products can be identified, the following information is available:
Production
Sales value at splitoff
Ems
20,000 units
$5 per unit
ILs
25,000 units
$6 per unit
If the firm uses the Sales value at splitoff method, how much of the joint processing cost should be allocated to Ems?

Both Ems and Ils can be processed further. Ems can be processed into 40,000 units of Sme with at an additional cost of $30,000. It can then be sold for $7.50 per unit. Ils can be processed further into 25,000 units of Sli at an additional cost of $50,000. Sli can be sold for $10.00 per unit.
If the firm uses the net realizable value method, the joint processing costs allocated to Sli will beadd
