Respuesta :

Answer:

the correct option is a. 50%

Explanation:

The computation of the percentage of the joint cost that would be allocated to product B159 is shown below:

= Units in product B159 ÷ Total units

= 100 units ÷ (50 units + 100 units + 50 units)

= 100 units ÷ 200 units

= 50%

Hence, the percentage allocated to product B159 is 50%

Therefore the correct option is a. 50%
