Snake River Sawmill manufactures two lumber products from a joint milling process. The two products developed are mine support braces (MSB) and unseasoned commercial building lumber (CBL). A standard production run incurs joint costs of $380,000 and results in 68,000 units of MSB and 98,000 units of CBL. Each MSB sells for $2, and each unit of CBL sells for $10. Calculate the amount of joint cost allocated to commercial building lumber (CBL) on a physical-units basis. (Round the calculation of "Relative Proportion" to the nearest whole percent. Round your final answers to the nearest dollar amount.)

    The amount of joint cost allocated to commercial building lumber (CBL) on a physical-units basis is $224,337.

    Explanation:

    In the joint cost allocation using physical-units basis, costs will be allocated proportionately on the amount of physical unit produced.

    There are 2 products in the join-production process, CBL are produced at 98,000 units, MSB are produced at 68,000 units. Thus, we have the below calculation:

    - Total units produced = 98,000 + 68,000 = 166,000 units

    - Cost allocated to CBL = 98,000/166,000 = 59.036%; Cost allocated to MSB = 68,000/166,000 = 40.964%

    => Joint-cost allocated to CBL is: 380,000 x 59.036% = $224,337.
