Kaveri Foods incurs joint cost of Rs 6,00,000 for products P and Q. P: 4,000 units, final selling price Rs 100 per unit, further processing cost after split-off Rs 40,000. Q: 2,000 units, final selling price Rs 200 per unit, further processing cost after split-off Rs 80,000. Using the net realisable value (NRV) method at split-off, what joint cost is apportioned to Q?

Using NRV, Q's NRV is Rs 3,20,000 and the total is Rs 6,80,000, so Q bears about 47 percent of the joint cost.

  2. BRs 3,00,000
  3. CRs 3,20,000
  4. DRs 2,80,000

Explanation

NRV of P = 4,000 x 100 - 40,000 = 3,60,000. NRV of Q = 2,000 x 200 - 80,000 = 3,20,000. Total = 6,80,000. Q's share = 6,00,000 x 3,20,000/6,80,000 = Rs 2,82,353 approx., so check: this is not clean. Recompute with option list: closest consistent working gives 2,82,353, not listed exactly.
