COST ALLOCATION FOR JOINT PRODUCTS AND


BY-PRODUCT/SCRAP

QUESTIONS

1. Jointprocessingoutputisclassifiedbasedontherelativesalesvalueofeachtypeof
output.Jointproductsarethoseoutputsthathavethelargestsalesvalue.Byproductsare
those outputs that have some sales value, but not a sufficient amount to justify
undertakingthejointprocesssimplytoobtainthoseoutputs.Scrapisoutputthathasnoor
verylittlesalesvalue.

Usually,theoutputclassificationisdeterminedbeforeproduction.Managementdecides
whetherajointprocessoutputisajointproduct,abyproduct,orscrapbasedonthe
judgmentoftherelativesalesvalueofeachtypeofoutput.However,inunusualcases,the
actualoutputsofthejointprocessmaynotresultasplanned.Insuchcases,management
mayclassifytheoutputdifferentlythanwasoriginallyintended.

2. Processingoftheoutputsofajointproductionprocessdoesnotalwaysstopatthe
splitoffpoint.Someproductsmaynotbeabletobesoldatthatpointand,assuch,must
beprocessedfurtherbeforetheycanbesold.Otherproductsmayhaveasalesvalueat
splitoffbutfurtherprocessingmightresultinsufficientlygreaterprofitabilitytojustify
theadditionalcosts.

3. Threeofthedecisionpointsare(1)beforethejointprocessisundertaken,(2)atthe
splitoffpoint,and(3)afterthesplitoffpoint.Thecriterionforproceedingatanyofthese
threepointsiswhethertheanticipatedincrementalrevenueswillexceedtheanticipated
incremental costs. A fourth decision point, occurring between (1) and (2), assesses
whetherthisparticularprocessisthebestuseofthefacilities;thecriteriaforthisdecision
iswhethertheincrementalbenefitfromthisprocessexceedstheincrementalbenefitof
thebestalternativefacilityusage.

4. Costallocationreferstotheassignmentofanindirectcosttoacostobjectusingsome
reasonable method. Accountants allocate fixed production costs to products produced
within aperiod, andallocate certain plant and equipment costs (throughdepreciation
charges)tothetimeperiodsduringwhichthoseassetsareusedand,inamanufacturing
company,tothegoodsproducedduringaperiod.

Sincetheproductioncostsincurredinajointprocessproduceseveraloutputs,thosecosts
areindirecttotheindividualoutputproducedandmust,becauseofthecostprinciple,be
assignedtothevariousoutputs.Allocationisnecessarytohaveappropriateinventory
(andcostofgoodssold)valuationsforthejointproductsproducedinthejointprocess.

5. The two primary approaches to allocating joint process costs are those using (1)
physicalmeasuresand(2)monetarymeasures.Physicalmeasures(suchastons,barrels,

ofgeneralandspecificpricelevelchanges.Physicalmeasurestreateachphysicalunitof
outputasequallydesirablebyassigningauniformamountofjointprocesscosttoevery
unitofoutputproduced.Incontrast,monetarymeasuresassignjointprocesscoststojoint
products proportionately to relative sales value. In most instances, because physical
measuresignoretherelativesalesvalueofproducts,amonetarymeasureisdeemedmore
appropriate.

6. Useofapproximatednetrealizablevaluesarenecessarywhensomeorallofthejoint
productscannotbesoldatthesplitoffpoint.Anapproximatednetrealizablevalueis
calculatedbysubtractingtheincrementalseparatecostsincurredbetweensplitoffand
point of sale from the expected final sales price of the product. Thus, to use the
approximated NRV method, managers must make estimates of final sales prices and
incrementalseparatecosts.

7. Oneapproachistoignorebyproduct/scrapinventorycompletelyuntilitissold.At
that point, the revenue generated by the sale of that inventory acknowledges the
existenceofthebyproduct/scrap.Thisrevenueisshownontheincomestatementasan

Thesecondapproachistorecordthefinalnetrealizablevalueofthebyproduct/scrap
recoveredatthesplitoffpoint.TheNRViscreditedasareductionofthejointprocess
costs that gave rise to the byproduct. On one hand, this approach is theoretically
preferablebecauseitmatchesthebenefit(NRVofbyproduct/scrap)withthesourceof
thebenefit(thejointprocesscoststhatwereincurredtoproducethebyproduct/scrap).
However,ontheotherhand,itispossiblethatuseofthismethodwilloverstatethevalue
ofthebyproductinventory(especiallyifitisneversold)andunderstatethecostofthe
jointproducts.Thus,therealizablevaluemethodismorelikelytoraisethepotentialfor
misleadingearningsmanagement.

8. Ifacompanyusingjobordercostingproducesbyproduct/scrapcontinuouslyfrom

57. The purpose, audience, and content criteria are met, and the joint costs should be
allocated. The purpose criterion is met because the materials call for recipient action
(encouraging parents to counsel their children and informing the parents on drug abuse
detection) that will help accomplish the entitys mission. This same call for action means
that the materials meet the content criterion. The audience criterion is met because the
audience (high school students parents) was chosen because of an actual or potential
need for the action called for by the program component.
(American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Statement of Position 98-2: Accounting for Costs of
Activities of Not-for-Profit Organizations and State and Local Governmental Entities That Include Fund
Raising (March 11, 1998); Section 10,730; http://www.fasb.org/cs/BlobServer?blobcol=urldata&blobtable=

58. a. The purpose, audience, and content criteria are met, and the entire $24,000 should be
allocated. The activity calls for specific action by the recipient (exercising) that will

help accomplish the entitys mission. The purpose criterion is met based on the other
evidence, because (a) performing such programs helps accomplish Entity Ds mission,
and (b) the objectives of the program are documented in a letter to the public relations
firm that developed the brochure. The audience criterion is met because the audience
(residents over 65) is selected based on its need to use or reasonable potential for use
of the action called for by the program component. The content criterion is met
because the activity calls for specific action by the recipient (exercising) that will help
accomplish the entitys mission (increasing the physical activity of senior citizens),
and the need for and benefits of the action are clearly evident (explains the importance
of exercising).
b. The cost of the first brochure should be split between fundraising and program; the
cost of the second brochure should be charged entirely to program.
c. The content and audience criteria are met. The purpose criterion is not met,
however, because a majority of compensation or fees for the fund-raising consultant
varies based on contributions raised for this discrete joint activity. All costs should be
charged to fund raising, including the costs of the second brochure and any other costs
that otherwise might be considered program or management and general costs if they
had been incurred in a different activity.
(American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Statement of Position 98-2: Accounting for Costs
of Activities of Not-for-Profit Organizations and State and Local Governmental Entities That Include
Fund Raising (March 11, 1998); Section 10,730; http://www.fasb.org/cs/BlobServer?blobcol=urldata&

(AICPA adapted)

59. The purpose, audience, and content criteria are not met. All costs should be charged to
fund-raising.The purpose criterion is not met because the activity has no call for specific
action; the program onlyeducates the audience about causes (describing its programs and
showing theneedy children). (Although the executive producer will bepaid $5,000 if the
activity raises over $1,000,000, that amount would not be a majority of the executive
producers total compensation for this activity; as such, this compensation is not
relevant.) Also, the operating policies and internal management memoranda state that
these programs are designed to educate the public about the needs of children in
developing countries with no call for specific action by recipients and to raise
contributions, indicate that the purpose is fund-raising.The audience criterion is not met
because the audience is a broadsegment of the population of a country that is not in need
of or has no reasonablepotential for use of the program activity.The content criterion is
not met because the activity does not call forspecific action by the recipient that will help
accomplish the entitys mission.
