Exercise 22-20B (25 minutes)
Preliminary calculations
Lobster cost (2,400 lbs. x $4.50)…..……...........$10,800
Parts Quantity* Price Total
* Quantities are computed as:
52% x 2,400 lbs. = 1,248 lbs.
22% x 2,400 lbs. = 528 lbs.
Allocated cost—value basis allocation: $12,600
Market % of Allocated Cost
Parts Value Total Cost per lb.
Lobster tails……………......$26,208 78.0% $9,828 $7.875
Lobster flakes…….…........ 7,392 22 .0 2,772 5.250
Total……………………..……..$33,600 100 .0 % $12,600
(1) Cost of goods sold
Parts Quantity (given) Cost Total
(2) Cost of ending inventory
Parts Quantity Cost Total
Lobster tails………………….…… 152 lbs.* $7.875 $ 1,197
* 1,248 lbs. – 1,096 lbs. sold = 152 lbs.
** 528 lbs. – 324 lbs. sold = 204 lbs.
Note: Cost of goods sold ($10,332) plus cost of ending inventory
($2,268) equals the total cost of $12,600.
