Joint Products: multiple products made simultaneously up to a split-off point, where products become separable Ex: the production of gasoline, kerosene, and plastic Take oil, run it through a process, and it produces these three joint products - Ex: oil and natural gas Process (exploration), drill for it, out of the ground comes oil and natural gas - Ex: canned pineapples, pineapple juice, and animal feed (by product?) Pineapple goes through a process to make these products - Note: No longer focused on OH - Objectives of Joint Costs allocation: Determine the most appropriate way to allocate an inseparable cost 1. Satisfy GAAP requirements 2. Comply with tax laws 3. - Joint Cost Allocation Methods (gets less simple the further you get down the line) Physical units method 1. Weighted average method 2. Sales value at split-off method 3. Net realizable value (NRV) method 4. Constant gross margin percentage method 5. Example We've got logs from a tree that go through a process Out of that process comes four different types of lumber (A, B, C, and D) - "grades" of lumber Grade A lumber is highest quality, Grade D lumber is lowest quality The logs going through the process has a $800 joint cost We have to allocate this to the four different types of lumber - Physical units method Grade Board feet Allocation % (board feet for specific grade/total board feet) Allocation (allocation % * joint cost) A 100 10 (i.e., 100/1000) 80 (i.e., 0.1*800) B 200 20 160 C 300 30 240 D 400 40 320 - Weighted average method Grade Board feet Weight Weighted BF (board feet * weight) Allocation % (weighted BF/total weighted BF) Allocation Cost (Allocation % * joint cost) A 100 1.75 175 15.6% $124.80 B 200 1.1 220 19.6% $156.80 C 300 1.1 330 29.3% $234.40 D 400 1 400 35.5% $284.00 - Sales value at split-off method Grade Board feet Market value @ split-off Allocation % (MV @ split- off/total MV @ split-off) Allocation (Allocation % * joint cost) - Guided Notes and Exam Prep Part 1 Tuesday, November 7, 2023 4:25 PM Week 4 Page 1

Week 4 Page 2
In a joint product costing scenario, what is the split-off point? The point at which the joint products are first separable and can be identified as individual products a. 1. Which statement best differentiates joint products from by-products in a production process? Joint products are the main products produced, while by-products are secondary products that are much less valuable than the main products a. 2. Which of the following joint cost allocation methods is the simplest? Weighted average method a. 3. Assume that a food processing company has a joint process to produce two different types of canned peaches (LS Peaches and J Peaches). During a particular production cycle, the company produced 5,000 cans of LS Peaches that can be sold at the split-off point for $3 each and have a final sales price of $4.50 after further processing. They also produced 10,000 cans of J Peaches which have a potential sales value of $2.50 each at the split-off point and a final sales price of $3.75 after additional processing. If the company incurred a total of $35,000 in joint costs and decides to allocate $11,667 to LS Peaches and $23,333 to J Peaches, which joint costing method is most likely being used? Physical units method a. 4. Week 4 Page 3
