Florissa's Flowers jointly produces three varieties of flowers in the same garden: tulips, lilies, and daisies. The flowers are all watered via the same irrigation system and all receive the same amount of water; daisies require three times as much as lilies, and the water required for tulips is about halfway between the amounts needed for daisies and lilies. Although the lilies and tulips receive more water than they need due to the joint irrigation process, they are not hurt by the overwatering. The joint production cost of the three varieties of flowers is about $30 per harvest. Every harvest yields 10 tulips, 20 lilies, and 20 daisies

Allocate the joint costs of production to each product using the physical units method.

Explanation:

Joint product   Flowers per harvest   Proportion   Joint cost allocation

Tulip                              10                     20% (10/50)       $6 ($30*20%)

Lily                                20                     40% (20/50)      $12 ($30*40%)

Daisy                            20                     40% (20/50)      $12 ($30*40%)

Totals                           50                     100%                  $30

As per above results, both Lily and Daisy received the largest proportion of joint cost.
