Different methods to allocate the cost. But here due to units, we will allocate according to units produced.

Sum of all the units =75,000+25,000+50,000 =150,000 Units

Total Joint Cost =400,000, 

So, for Product B

=400,000/150,000*25,000 =66,666.67 Cost

 

So, (B) is the Correct Ans

at its simple form, there is a total of150,000 units across the3 products.

 

[75' +25' +50'] =150'

 

assuming each of the3 products absorb equality quantity of output of the joint cost process product.

so per unit cost must be  2.67 (rounded)

 

[400/150 =2.66666]

making the answer66,667 is the correct answer,  Option B)
