    KA = $414,000

    KB = $400,660

    Explanation:

    The computation of joint costs will be allocated to KA and to KB is shown below:-

    Total units produced of KA Product and KB Product = 75,000 + 79,000

    = 154,000

    Joint product cost = $180,000 + $174,200

    = $354,200

    Product Joint costs

    KA $414,000 ($354,200 * $180,000 : 154,000)

    KB $400,660 ($354,200 * $174,200 : 154,000)

    Therefore for KA Joint cost is $414,000 and For KB the Joint cost is $400,660
