Cariboo manufacturing company incurred a joint cost of $945,000 in the production of x and y in a joint process. presently, 2,900 of x and 2,500 of y are being produced each month. management plans to decrease x's production by 850 units in order to increase the production of y by 1,160 units. additionally, this change will require minor modifications, which will add $64,800 to the joint cost. this cost is entirely attributable to product y. what is the amount of the joint costs allocable to x and y before changes to existing production, assuming cariboo allocates their joint costs according to the proportion of y and x produced

the joint cost allocated to X before changes to existing production = $507,500

and

the joint cost allocated to Y before changes to existing production = $437,500

Explanation:

Given:

Joint cost incurred by the company = $945,000.

The number of units of X produced presently = 2,900

The number of units of Y produced presently = 2,500

Total joint units produced presently = 2,900 + 2,500 = 5,400 units

Therefore,

the total joint cost per joint unit

= (Joint cost incurred by the company) / (Total joint units produced presently )

on substituting the respective values, we have

the total joint cost per joint unit  = $945,000 / 5,400 = $175

Hence,

the joint cost allocated to X before changes to existing production

= $ 175 × number of units of X produced presently

= $175 × 2,900 = $507,500

and

the joint cost allocated to Y before changes to existing production

= $ 175 × number of units of Y produced presently

= $175 × 2,500 = $437,500

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
