How are separate costs distinguished from joint costs?
1- Which of the following costs are always irrelevant in decision making? a- avoidable costs b- sunk costs C- opportunity costs d- fixed costs 2- Two products, ABC and XYZ, emerge from a joint process. Product ABC has been allocated $31,200 of the total joint costs of $48,000. A total of 5,000 units of product ABC are produced from the joint process. Product ABC can be sold at the split-off point for $24 per unit, or it can be processed further for an additional total cost of $15,000 and then sold for $26 per unit. If product ABC is processed further and sold, what would be the effect on the overall profit of the company compared with sale in its unprocessed form directly after the split-off point? a- $5,000 less profit b- $115,000 more profit c- $36,200 less profit d- $5,000 more profit
