(Joint cost allocation; scrap) DD’s Linens produces terrycloth products for hotels. The company buys fabric in 60 inch wide bolts. In the first process, the fabric is set up, cut, and separated into pieces. Setup can be for either robes and beach towels, or bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths.

During July, the company set up and cut 6,000 robes and 12,000 beach towels. Because of the irregular pattern of the robes, the process produces scrap that is sold to various prisons and hospitals for rags at $0.45 per pound. July production and cost data for DD’s Linens are as follows:

Fabric used, 25,000 feet at $1.50 per foot	$37,500
Labor, joint process	$12,000
Overhead, joint process	$11,000
Pounds of scrap produced	3,600

DD’s Linens assigns the joint processing cost to the robes and beach towels based on approximated net realizable value at split off. Other data gathered include these:

	Per Robe	Per Beach Towel
Final selling prices	$20.00	$7.00
Costs after split off	6.80	1.60

The selling price of the scrap is treated as a reduction of joint cost.
