Concept: in some industries, a number of products areproduced from a single raw material input.
Key terms: Joint products – products resulting from a process
with a common input. Split-off point – the stage of processing where joint
products are separated. Joint costs – costs of processing joint products
prior to the split-off point. Final product – ready for sale without further
processing. Intermediate product – requires further processing
before sale.

The Decision Challenge: Which Joint Products to Produce
The usual objective in theproduction of joint products
is to maximize profits.
Identify finalproducts possible
from the jointprocess.
Forecast thesales price of
each finalproduct.
Estimate coststo further processjoint products into
final products.
Choose the setof products
with the overallmaximum profit.

Decision to Sell Products at Split Off or Process Them Further Joint product costs incurred prior to the split-off
point are sunk costs — not affected by a decision to process further after the split-off point.
A product should be processed beyond the split-off point only if if the incremental revenue exceeds the incremental processing costs.
Value is added only if theincremental value fromprocessing exceeds the
incremental processing costs.

Sawmill, Inc. cuts logs from which unfinished lumber and wood chips are the joint products.
Unfinished lumber is sold “as is” or processed further into finished lumber.
Wood chips can also be sold “as is” for landscaping or processed further into 4 × 8 composition boards.

Monetarymeasure method
Joint costs areallocated based onthe relative values
of the products at thesplit-off point.
Joint costs are allocated based on a proportional measure
(weight, volume, etc.) of the joint products at the
split-off point.

Jointcosts
If we allocate the joint costs of raising an animal to the two products based on weight, which product
would receive the largest cost allocation?Hamburger, because there is more of it.

If we allocate the joint costs of raising the animal to the two products based on sales value, would the
steak receive a greater portion of the cost allocation?Yes, steak has a higher sales value than hamburger.

If products require further processing beyond the split-off point before they are marketable,
it may be necessary to estimate the net realizable value (NRV) at the split-off point.

The physical measure method may be used when Output product prices are highly volatile. Many additional processes occur between the
split-off point and the first point of marketability. Market prices are unavailable for products
provided via cost-plus contracts.

Which joint cost allocationmethod should we use?We get a different result
with each method.
Choosing Among Joint Cost Allocation Methods
Joint costs are trulycommon costs.
It is impossible to separatethe portion of joint costs
attributable to one producton a cause and effect
basis.
Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.McGraw-Hill/Irwin
9-37
That makes the choice of methods somewhat arbitrary.
Regardless of the method we choose, we really need to be careful using allocated
costs for decision-making purposes.

Do not base product or service production decisions on joint margins (I.e., after joint-cost allocation) unless the choice is in
response to regulatory opportunities.
Choose the joint-cost allocation method that maximizes regulatedprofits or cost reimbursements.
Clearly define how to allocate joint costs in contractual agreementsamong parties that share outputs and joint costs of joint processes.

What Are By-Products?
Their sales value is minimal.
Do not allocate joint costs to by-products
They are incidental to a production process.
ExamplesLumber production:
wood chipsFertilizer production:
methane gas

Two commonly used methods of accounting for by-products are . . . Realized Value Approach
By-product NRV is treated as other revenue.
Net Realizable Value ApproachBy-product NRV is deducted from joint production costs before allocation.

By-Products: Some Complications
The preceding example assumes the by-product has been sold.
If the by-product is unsold . . . Using method 2, the $1,100 by-product
NRV is deducted from finished goodsinventory or work-in-process inventory if unfinished.
Using method 1, the $1,100 by-product NRV is placed in a by-product inventory account.

Waste is a by-product with negative NRV. (Cost of disposal exceeds sales value)
Waste is disposed of at minimum cost.
Waste disposal cost is charged tomanufacturing overheadand applied to otherproducts as part of themanufacturing overheadallocation process.

Allocation of Joint Costs –Other Economic Value Methods
In addition to net realizable value Relative sales value at split-off
Further processing costs not considered Constant gross margin percentage
