Joint Production Process
Joint products are two or more products produced
simultaneously by the same process up to a “split-off”
point.
The split-off point is the point at which the joint
products become separate and identifiable.
Separable costs are easily traced to individual products
and offer no particular problem.
7-6
The distinction between joint and by-products rests
solely on the relative importance of their sales value.
A by-product is a secondary product recovered in the
course of manufacturing a primary product.
7-7
By-products can be characterized by their
relationship to the main products in the
following manner:

By-product resulting from scrap, trimmings, and so
forth, of the main products in essentially nonjoint
product types of undertakings (e.g., fabric trimmings
from clothing pieces).

Scrap and other residue from essentially joint
product types of processes (e.g., fat trimmed from
beef carcasses).

A minor joint product situation (fruit skins and
trimmings used as animal feed).

Accounting For Joint Product Costs
Net Realizable Value Method
A company manufactures two products, Alpha and Beta,
from a joint process. One production run costs $5,750
and results in 1,000 gallons of Alpha and 3,000 gallons of
Beta. Neither product is salable at the split-off point, but
must be further processed. The separable cost for Alpha
is $1 per gallon and for Beta is $2 per gallon.

Effect of Joint Product Costs on Cost
Control and Decision Making
 It is important to understand when the use of
allocated joint product costs may be misleading.
 In making decisions relative to jointly produced
articles, it must be remembered that the products are
necessarily produced jointly.
 Some areas that can be affected by joint cost
allocations are:
 Output decisions
 Further processing of joint products
 Pricing jointly produced products
