Answer:
$560
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How much of the joint cost is allocated to cream
Units Selling price Sales value Percentage of sales value Allocated cost
Cream (200*15=3,000) (3,000/5,400 = 56%)
(1,000 x 56% = $560)
Skimmed milk (600*4=2,400) (2,400/5,400 = 44%) (1,000 x 44% = $440)
Total $5,400 100% $1,000
($3,000+$2,400=$5,400)
(56%+44%=100%)
($560+$440=$1,00)
Therefore the joint cost allocated to CREAM is $560
