Physical Units Method Alomar Company manufactures four products from a joint production process: barlon, selene, pliocene, and cortisol. The joint costs for one batch are as follows: Direct materials $67,900 Direct labor 34,000 Overhead 25,500 At the split-off point, a batch yields 1,400 barlon, 2,600 selene, 2,500 pliocene, and 3,500 corsol. All products are sold at the split-off point: barlon sells for $15 per unit, selene sells for $20 per unit, plicene sells for $26 per unit, and corsol sells for $35 per unit. Carry out all percent calculations to four significant digits and show ALL your work

Required:

1. Allocate the joint costs using the physical units method.
2. Suppose that the products are weighted as shown on page 368.

Total marketing effort is a term used to describe the critical decision factors that affect demand: price, advertising, distribution, and product quality. define the variable x to represent total marketing effort. a typical model that is used to predict demand as a function of total marketing effort is based on the power function: d = axb suppose that a is a positive number. different model forms result from varying the constant b. sketch the graphs of this model for b = 0, b = 1, 0< b< 1, b< 0, and b> 1. (we encourage you to use excel to do this.) what does each model tell you about the relationship between demand and marketing effort? what assumptions are implied? are they reasonable? how would you go about selecting the appropriate model?
