Top Quality Fruit Company, based on Oahu, grows, processes, cans, and sells three main pineapple products: sliced, crushed, andJuice. The outside skin is cut off in the Cutting Department and processed as animal feed. The feed is treated as a by-product. Thecompany's production process is as follows:Pineapples first are processed in the Cutting Department. The pineapples are washed and the outside skin is cut away. Then thepineapples are cored and trimmed for slicing. The three main products (sliced, crushed, juice) and the by-product (animal feed) arerecognizable after processing in the Cutting Department. Each product then is transferred to a separate department for finalprocessing.• The trimmed pineapples are sent to the Slicing Department, where the pineapples are sliced and canned. Any Juice generatedduring the slicing operation is packed in the cans with the slices.• The pieces of pineapple trimmed from the frult are diced and canned in the Crushing Department. Again, the juice generated duringthis operation is packed in the can with the crushed pineapple.• The core and surplus pineapple generated from the Cutting Department are pulverized into a liquid in the Juicing Department.There is an evaporation loss equal to 4 percent of the weight of the good output produced in this department that occurs as theJulces are heated.• The outside skin is chopped into animal feed in the Feed Department.Top Quality Frult Company uses the net-realizable-value method to assign the costs of the joint process to its main products. The netrealizable value of the by-product is subtracted from the joint cost before the allocation.A total of 170,000 pounds were entered into the Cutting Department during June. The following schedule shows the costs incurred ineach department, the proportion by weight transferred to the four final processing departments, and the selling price of each endproduct.DepartmentCuttingslicingCrushingJuicingAnimal feedTotalRequired 1Processing Data and Costs for JuneProportion of Product byWeight Transferred toDepartmentsRequired:Compute each of the following amounts.1.

Mack's Juices produces and bottles a line of fruit juices. The manufacturing process entails mixing and adding juices and other ingredients at the bottling plant, which is a part of Blending Division. The finished product is packaged in a company-produced glass bottle and packed in cases of 24 bottles each.

The Bean Company provides fresh coffee beans for restaurants, hotels, and other food service companies. Bean offers three types of coffee beans: Premium, Gourmet, and Quality. Each of the three coffees is produced in a joint process in which beans are cleaned and sorted.

The beans can be sold at the split - off point or processed further, with different types of roasting and additional sorting. The additional processing requires additional, separable processing costs, as shown next. Separable processing requires no special facilities, and the production costs of further processing are entirely variable and traceable to the products involved. Last year all three products were processed beyond split - off. Joint production costs for the year were $160,000,000.
