1. Physical Unit Method (10,000 total units)
$80,000 x 5,000/10,000 = $40,000 allocated to X
$80,000 x 4,000/10,000 = $32,000 allocated to Y
$80,000 x 1,000/10,000 = $ 8,000 allocated to Z
2.Sales Value at Split off Method (total sales value at split off $90,000)
$80,000 x $25,000/$90,000 = $22,222 allocated to X

Unit Cost $6.244 $10.861 $29.333
Sales Price (above) $11.000 $11.250 $30.000
Unit Gross Profit $4.756 $.389 $ .667
Notice how the unit gross profit figures change for parts 1 and 2. The
reason is the relatively large sales price for Z, which is used in the
allocation in part 2, thus increasing the joint cost allocated to Z.
