Question

The following questions relate to Kyle Company, which manufactures products KA, KB, and KC from a joint process. Joint product costs were $$\$ 126,000$$. Additional information follows: $$ \begin{array}{cccrc} \text { Product } & \begin{array}{c} \text { Units } \\ \text { Produced } \end{array} & \begin{array}{c} \text { Sales Value } \\ \text { at Split-Off } \end{array} & \begin{array}{c} \text { Sales } \\ \text { Values } \end{array} & \begin{array}{c} \text { Additional } \\ \text { Costs } \end{array} \\ \text { KA } \ldots \ldots \ldots & 56,000 & \$ 160,000 & \$ 220,000 & \$ 36,000 \\ \text { KB } \ldots \ldots \ldots & 40,000 & 140,000 & 180,000 & 28,000 \\ \text { KC } \ldots \ldots \ldots & 16,000 & 100,000 & 160,000 & 20,000 \end{array} $$ Required a. Assuming that joint product costs are allocated using the physical quantities (units produced) method, what was the total cost of product KA (including $$\$ 36,000$$ if processed further)? b. Assuming that joint product costs are allocated using the sales value at split-off (net realizable value method), what was the total cost of product KB (including the $$\$ 28,000$$ if processed further)?
