    Study Notes

    Joint Product Processes

    • Products can be classified as final or intermediate.
    • A final product is ready for sale without further processing.
    • An intermediate product requires further processing before sale.
    • An example of a joint product process is an oil refinery, with outputs of gasoline and oil.

    Decision Challenge: Which Joint Products to Produce

    • The goal of joint production is to maximize profit.
    • To make the decision about which joint products to produce, you should:
      • Identify the possible final products.
      • Forecast the sales price of each final product.
      • Estimate the costs to further process joint into final products.
      • Choose the product set with the highest overall profit.

    Decision to Sell Products at Split-Off or Process Them Further

    • Consider the incremental revenue and cost of further processing to determine whether to sell at split-off or process further.
    • Selling at split-off implies minimal processing, while processing further implies more processing costs.
    • The profit (loss) from further processing equals incremental revenue minus the cost of further processing.

    Reasons for Allocating Joint Costs

    • Companies allocate joint costs for several reasons:
      • To measure performance based on earnings.
      • To value inventory for financial statements.
      • To estimate casualty losses.
      • To determine and respond to rate regulation.
      • To specify and resolve contractual interests and obligations.

    Joint Cost Allocation Methods

    • There are two main methods to allocate joint costs:
      • Physical measure method: Allocates joint costs based on proportional physical measures (weight, volume).
      • Monetary measure method: Allocates joint costs relative to the products' values at the split-off point.

    Monetary Measure Method: Net Realizable Value

    • Net Realizable Value (NRV) for a joint product is calculated as the sales value minus the additional processing costs.
    • To calculate the proportionate share of joint costs allocated to each product:
      • Determine NRV for each product at the split-off point.
      • Calculate the proportion each product's NRV represents of the total NRV.
      • Multiply the proportion by the total joint cost to allocate the costs to each product.

    Example of NRV Calculations:

    • Calculate the NRV for gasoline and oil at the split-off point.
    • Calculate the proportionate share of allocated joint costs between gasoline and oil.
    • Calculate the gross margin for each product by subtracting allocated joint costs from the NRV.
