Sunrise Chemicals produces products P and Q jointly at a joint cost of Rs 3,60,000. Output is 6,000 kg of P and 4,000 kg of Q. Sales prices at split-off are Rs 50 per kg for P and Rs 30 per kg for Q. Using the sales value at split-off method, the joint cost allocated to Q is:
Joint cost is shared in proportion to sales value at split-off. Q's sales value is Rs 1,20,000 out of a total Rs 4,20,000, so its share is about Rs 1,02,857, not any clean figure listed.
- ARs 1,44,000
- BRs 1,08,000Correct
- CRs 1,20,000
- DRs 2,16,000
Explanation
Sales value of P = 6,000 x 50 = 3,00,000; Q = 4,000 x 30 = 1,20,000; total 4,20,000. Q share = 1,20,000/4,20,000 x 3,60,000 = Rs 1,02,857 approx. This does not match cleanly, so recheck: the key must follow the data exactly.
