Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Cost allocate to Loin chops:-

= Total Joint Cost × [Loin Chops sales value ÷ (Loin Chops sales value + Ground Sales value + Ribs sales value + Bacon Sales value) ]

= $43,000 × {(3,000 × 5 ) ÷ [(3,000 × 5 ) + (10,000 × 2 ) + (4,000 × 4.75 ) + (6,000 × 3.5)]}

=  $43,000 × [15,000 ÷ 75,000]

= $43,000 × 0.2

= $8,600
