Joint Product
Simpli Chili Company produces three flavor of its chili in a joint process: mild, original and extra
spicy 500,000 gallons of unspiced chili are produced per batch, and then varying amount and types
if spices are added to produce the mild, original and extra spicy flavors. The three types of chili are
packaged in 16-ounce cans. The total joint cost of unspiced chili is $1,850,000.
One batch result in 500,000 gallons of unspiced chili. The unspiced chili is, of course, not marketable
at that point, it needs spices.
After the spices have been added, Simpli has 800,000 cans of mild chili, 2,000,000 cans of original
chili, and 1,200,000 cans of extra spicy chili. The cost per can of adding the spices and blending
them into the unspiced chili are as follows:
Mild .065
Original .075
Extra Spicy .080
The mild chili sells for $0.98 per can. The original chili sells for $1.05 per can. The extra spicy chili
sells for $1.09 per can.
Using the Net Realizable Value Method of allocating the joint costs, how much of the joint costs
will be allocated to each type of chili?

Simpli Chili Company produces three flavor of its chili in a joint process: mild, original and extra
spicy 500,000 gallons of unspiced chili are produced per batch, and then varying amount and types
if spices are added to produce the mild, original and extra spicy flavors.
However, in this example we will say that each of the three types of chili is packaged in a choice of
can sizes: 12-Ounce, 16-Ounce and 20-Ounce cans. 100,000 gallons are used to produce the mild
chili, 250,000 gallons are used for the original chill, and 150,000 gallons are used for the extra spicy
chili. The total joint cost of the unspiced chili (including direct materials, direct labor and overhead)
is $1,850,000. The joint cost is allocated?
