Answer:

The Brital Company

A) The gross profit percent of condensed milk is lower than the gross profit of butter cream.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Direct Materials processed = 33,000 gallons

Joint cost for 33,000 gallons of saleable product = $55,000

                            Butter Cream                     Condensed Milk      Total

Production        13,000 gallons                       20,000 gallons        33,000

Sales                 12,500 gallons                        19,500 gallons       32,000

Sales                  $2.50 per gallon                    $ 9.00 per gallons

Separable cost 14,500 gallons                       36,000 gallons       50,500

Sales revenue   $31,250 ($2.50*12,500)     $175,500             $206,750

Sales revenue

based on separable

cost                  $36,250                                   $324,000       $360,250

Joint cost allocation $5,534                            $49,572             $55,106

                      ($0.153*$36,250)                   ($0.153*$324,000)

Gross profit         $25,716                               $125,928

Gross profit %       80.6%                                    71.8%
