Question

A granary allocates the cost of unprocessed wheat to the production of feed, flour, and starch. For the current period, unprocessed wheat was purchased for $120,000, and the following quantities of product and sales revenues were produced.

Product Pounds Price per Pound
Feed 100,000 $ 0.70
Flour 50,000 2.20
Starch 20,000 1.00
How much of the $120,000 cost should be allocated to flour if the value basis is used?
a) $24,500.
b) $84,000.
c) $66,000.
d) $70,000.
e) $200,000.

Answer 1

c) $66,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

The value allocated is as follows:

Feed (100,000 × 0.7)=70,000

Flour (50,000 × 2.2)=110,000

Starch (20,000 × 1)=20,000

Total 200,000

Now allocation to the flour is

= (110,000 ÷ 200,000 × 120,000)

= $66,000

hence, the option c is correct
