what is The weighted average method when it comes to allocating joint costs
Under the weighted average method of joint cost allocation, certain defined weight factors are applied to each unit of joint goods. The finished units are multiplied by the weight factors to produce the number of weighted units, which is then used to distribute the total joint production cost among individual joint product units.
For example, in a combined manufacturing process, 10,000 units of product X and 20,000 units of product Y are produced. If product X has a weight factor of 5 and product Y has a weight factor of 3, the weighted number of product units may be computed using the formula:
Weighted units = Produced units x weight factor
