Question 1. Zimmerman Laboratories processes and refines fertilizer. From this fertilizer they have contemplated producing two additonal products as a result of further processing. One product is a high power fuel that can be used in peformance aircraft and/or single-stage rockets. The second potential product is a highly explosive compound that could replace current dynamite used in construction blasting.
The cost to produce the fertilizer up to the split off point for a standard batch is $8,400. From the standard batch Zimmerman can obtain 6500 gallons of fuel and 1500 gallons of explosives with the net sales price of the fuel being $6 per gallon and the net sale price of the explosives being $14 per gallon.
If Zimmerman uses the value basis of allocating the joint costs among the two potential products how much will be allocated to each?
a. $4,200 for Fuel; $4,200 for Explosives
b. $5,460 for Fuel; $2,940 for Explosives
c. $8,400 for Fuel; $8,400 for Explosives
d. None of the other answers

a. 81.25% for Explosives; 18.75% for Fuel
b. 50% for Explosives; 50% for Fuel
c. 81.25% for Fuel; 18.75% for Explosives
d. None of the other answers
