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.
