Allocation of Joint Costs
Net realizable value method
Physical quantities method
Joint cost allocation based on the proportional
values of the products at the split-off point.
Joint cost allocation based on measurement of the volume,
weight, or other physical measure of the joint products at the split-off point.

Physical Quantities Method
Joint cost allocation based on measurement
of the volume, weight, or other physical
measure of the joint products at the split-off
point.
Significant processing occurs between the split-off point and
the first point of marketability.
Product prices are not set by the market.
Output product prices are unstable.
Example: Physical Quantities Method
Carlyle Coal Company Joint Cost Allocation
a (15,000 tons/45,000 tons) x $270,000 = 33.3% x $270,000
b (30,000 tons/45,000 tons) x $270,000 = 66.7% x $270,000

Sell or Process Further
Suppose CCC can sell lo-grade coal for
$450,000 at the split-off point or process it
further to make mid-grade coal. Mid-grade
coal would be sold for $550,000 and
additional processing costs would be
$50,000.
Sell Process Further Differential
Lo-Grade Mid-Grade Revenue/Costs
Revenues 450,000$ 550,000$ 100,000$
Less separate processing costs -0- 50,000 50,000
Margin 450,000$ 500,000$ 50,000$

By-products
By-products are outputs of joint production
processes that are relatively minor in quantity
or value.

By-products
By-products are outputs of joint production
processes that are relatively minor in quantity
or value.
The net realizable value from sale of the
by-product is deducted from the joint
costs before allocation to the main
products.
The proceeds from sale of
the by-product are treated
as other revenue.
