Cariboo Manufacturing Company incurred a joint cost of $600,000 in the production of X
and Y in a joint process. Presently, 1,800 of X and 1,400 of Y are being produced each
month. Management plans to decrease X’s production by 300 units in order to increase the
production of Y by 500 units. Additionally, this change will require minor modifications,
which will add $20,000 to the joint cost. This cost is entirely attributable to product Y.
What is the amount of the joint costs allocable to X and Y before changes to existing
production assuming Cariboo allocates their joint costs according to the proportion of Y
and X produced?

Upton Company produces two main products and a by-product out of a joint process. The
ratio of output quantities to input quantities of direct material used in the joint process
remains consistent from month to month. Upton has employed the physical-volume
method to allocate joint production costs to the two main products. The net realizable
value of the by-product is used to reduce the joint production costs before the joint costs
are allocated to the main products. Data regarding Upton’s operations for the current
month are presented in the chart below. During the month, Upton incurred joint production
costs of $2,520,000. The main products are not marketable at the split-off point and, thus,
have to be processed further.
