solution

The Silver Center (TSC) produces cups and platters. TSC purchases silver and other metals that are processed into silver alloy that is used to make platters and cups. TSC incurred $80,000 of materials cost and $84,000 of labor cost to produce the silver alloy. Platters are made first and the residual alloy is remixed into a lower grade silver plated material that is used to make the cups. Remixing cost amount to $12,000. The recent batch contained 24,000 platters and 11,000 cups. TSC sold the platters for $300,000 and the cups for $52,000. If number of units is used to allocate the joint cost, what is the income earned for platters? (Round intermediate calculation to 2 decimal places.)

a)112560

b)187440

c) 52000

d) (410)
