Respuesta :

Answer:

$2,938

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what amount of joint processing cost is allocated to Product A Using sales value at split-off,

First step is to calculate the Total for Product A and C

Product A 1,800* $7.00= $12,600

Product C 2,600* $10.00= $26,000

Total $38,600

($12,600+$26,000)

Now let calculate amount of joint processing cost is allocated to Product A

Joint processing cost is allocated to Product A=$(12,600/38,600)*$9,000

Joint processing cost is allocated to Product A = $2,938

Therefore Using sales value at split-off, what amount of joint processing cost is allocated to Product A is $2,938
