Joint Product &

By-Product Accounting
In the process of manufacturing one or more products, a company may also produce other
products which may either be joint products or by-products depending upon their importance to
the firm.

The problems encountered in the CPA examinations relative to joint products and by-products
accounting are the following:

1. Allocation of joint (common) costs at the point of split-off.

2. Accounting for by-products.

ALLOCATION OF JOINT (COMMON) COSTS

The allocation of the joint costs among the individual products produce is to be made at the
split-off point, which is the point where the joint products are separated from each other.

The following methods are usually used in allocating joint costs:

1. Relative market (sales) value method. The application of this method will depend on
whether the products are sold at the point of separation or whether additional costs are
incurred as a result of additional processing. The following procedures should be
remembered by the candidate:
a. Sale value at point of split-off. If the products are sold at the point of
separation, cost is allocated to each product based on the relative market value
at that point (split-off point).
b. Sale value after further processing. Joint cost is to be allocated on the basis of
each products net realizable value. Net realizable value is the difference
between the final sales value and the actual cost to complete and sell. (Further
processing cost).
2. Physical Measures (Units Produced) Method. This method allocates joint costs to
products based on a physical measure of units. If the allocation is based on physical
quantities, each unit of each product is assigned at the same value regardless of the
nature or value of the product.

ACCOUNTING FOR BY-PRODUCTS

By-products are those products of limited sales value produced simultaneously with products of
greater sales value known as main or joint products.
The methods of accounting for by-products fall into the following categories:
1. By-products are recognized when sold. Under this method no income is recorded from
them until they are sold. Net by-product income equals actual sales revenue less any
actual additional processing costs and marketing and administrative expenses. Net by-
product income may be shown in the income statement as:
a. Addition to income, either as other sales or other income.
b. A deduction from cost of goods sold of the main product.
2. By-products are recognized when produced. Under this category the cost of the by-
product is computed by using the following methods:
a. Net realizable value method. Under this, the expected sales value of the by-
product produced is reduced by the expected additional processing cost and
marketing and administrative expenses. The resulting net realizable value of the
by-product is deducted from the total production costs of the main product.
b. Reversal cost method. The expected value of the by-product produced is
reduced by the expected additional processing costs and normal gross profit of
the by product (or by the marketing and administrative expenses and net
income). This method is called the reversal cost method because you have to
work backward from the gross revenue to arrive at the estimated joint cost of
the by-product at the point of split-off. The joint cost allocated to the production
of the by-product is deducted from the total production cost of the main
product, and charge to a by-product inventory account. Proceeds from the sale
of by-products are treated the same as sales of the main product.

SOLUTIONS AND EXPLANATIONS

1. Physical measures (units produced):

Allocated joint cost (6,000/12,000 x P60,000) P30,000

Add: Additional processing cost 9,000
Total costs allocated to Product X P39,000

Relative sales value at split-off:

Allocated joint cost (P40,000/P100,000) x P60,000 P24,000
Add: Additional processing cost 9,000
Total costs allocated to Product X P33,000

Note: Sales value at split-off is equal to final sales value less additional processing costs.
The ratio is shown below:
Product X (P49,000 P9,000) P40,000 - 40/100
Product Y (42,000 7,000) 35,000 - 35/100
Product Z (30,000 5,000) 25,000 - 25/100
P100,000
2. Since the sales values at split-off are already known, you should not have attempted to
compute the relative sales value by subtracting the additional processing costs from the
final sales values. This approach is only used when sales values at the split-off point are
not available.

Although the question required the correct allocated joint cost for products W, X, Y and
Z, you only needed to compute the correct allocated cost for onr product to select the
proper choice.

The easiest approach would have been as follows:

Allocation to Product Z:
20,000
x 160,000 = P16,000
200,000
3. The problem indicates that relative sales value at split-off is used to allocate joint costs.
Product H has been allocated 15% (P18,000 P120,000) of the total joint costs.
 Therefore, Product H has 15% of the total sales value at split-off of P30,000 (15% x
P200,000). Since Product F has sales value at split-off of P120,000, Product Gs sales
value at split-off is P50,000 (P200,000 P30,000 P120,000). The Product G sales value
just computed represents 25% (50,000 200,000) of the sales value at split-off. The
joint costs allocated to product G is 120,000 x 25% = P30,000.
4. First compute the sales value at split-off ratio as follows:
Final Addl Sales Value
Sales Value Processing Cost At split-off Ratio
Product A (1,600 x P200) P320,000 P100,000 P220,000 220/400
Product B (800 x P400) 320,000 140,000 180,000 180/400
P400,000

The allocated joint cost to A can now be computed as shown below:

220
x P120,000 = P66,000
400
5. The net realizable values for products PEL and VEL are:
PEL VEL
Sales value
(800 x P25) P20,000
(400 x P50) P20,000
Costs to convert into a salable form 8,000 12,000
Net realizable value P12,000 P8,000
Product PEL represents 60% (P12,000 P20,000) of the total net realizable value and
thus should be assigned 60% of the joint costs. Thus, the joint costs allocated to product
PEL would be (P12,000 P20,000) x 15,000 = P9,000.
6.
Final Further Sales Value
Sales Process at Point of
Value Costs Split-off
A 2,000 x P30 = P60,000 - P24,000 = P36,000
B 1,000 x 60 = 60,000 - 36,000 = 24,000
Total P60,000

Joint costs allocated to Product A:

36/60 x P55,000 = P33,000
7. Product AA (15,000 costs x P2) P30,000
Product BB (15,000 units x P5) 75,000
Total P105,000

The ratio therefore are:

AA = 30/105 or 29%
BB = 75/105 or 71%
8. The computation is:
 Product Additional Sales
Sales Processing Value % of Joint
Value Cost at Split-off total Cost
AA P9,000 P3,000 P6,000 66 2/3 P4,400
BB 6,000 3,000 3,000 33 1/3 2,200
P15,000 P6,000 P9,000 100% P6,600

9. Apply the following formula:

Joint Sales value at spilt-off
costs = Total sales value X total joint costs
allocated

Sales value at (N)

P48,000 = X P120,000
P200,000

Sales P200,000 x P48,000

Value = P120,000
(N)
= P80,000

Since the answer (b) is the only one which assigns P80,000 sales value to product N, we
can stop here. Obtaining the sales value of product P is a simple operation:
Sales Value (P) = Total sales value sales value (N) sales value (R)
= P200,000 P80,000 P50,000
= P70,000
10. Plug given amounts into the basic relative sales value method Joint Cost allocation
formula applicable to product P:
Joint Sales value at spilt-off
costs = Total sales value X total joint costs
Allocated

P36,000 x P100,000
P36,000 =
P60,000
= P60,000

11. Since Product S represents 66 2/3% (50,000/75,000) of the total, the total joint cost can
be determined as follows:
P30,000
Or P30,000 x 3/2 = P45,000
66 2/3%

12. The portion of the total joint product costs allocated to Product J was P9,000. Using the
relative sales value at split-off approach, this means that 60% of the total joint costs
have been allocated to Product J (15,000/25,000 = .60). Therefore, total joint product
costs are calculated as follows:
 P90,000
= P15,000
60

13. Sales value if processed further (Product S) P126,000

Less: Additional costs if processed further P26,000
Additional margin if processed further 28,000 54,000
Sales value at split-off P72,000
14. The gross profit on this sale is the ultimate sales price less the cost of goods sold. In a
joint processing situation, the cost of the goods sold includes both the allocation of joint
costs up to the split-off point and all further processing costs. The allocation of joint
costs incurred prior to split-off is based on relative sales value at the split-off point. For
Product W, relative sales value is its sales value at split-off divided by total sales value at
split-off or P60,000/P750,000 = 8%. The allocation of joint costs is then 8% of total joint
costs, or (8%) (P450,000) = P36,000. The gross profit is computed as follows:

Ultimate sales price P78,000

Allocation of joint costs P36,000
Further processing costs 12,000 (48,000)
Gross profit P30,000
15. First compute the total production cost as shown below:
R S T
Units produced:
5/10 x 50,000
3/10 x 50,000 = 25,000 15,000 10,000
2/10 x 50,000
Materials:
P120,000 x 5/10
120,000 x 3/10 = P60,000 P36,000 P24,000
120,000 x 2/10
Joint conversion:
P200,000 x 22/50
200,000 x 16/50 = 88,000 64,000 48,000
200,000 x 12/50
Further processing = 30,000 20,000 30,000
Total cost of production P178,000 P120,000 P102,000

NOTE: The materials cost is allocated to the three joint products on the basis of relative
production units; the total joint conversion cost is allocated on the basis of relative sales
values at split-off point, as follows:
R S T
Final sales values:
25,000 x P10
15,000 x 12 P250,000 P180,000 P150,000
10,000 x 15
 Less: Further processing costs 30,000 20,000 30,000
Sales values at split-off point P220,000 P160,000 P120,000
Fractional share of conversion costs 22/50 16/50 12/50

The unit cost can now be computed as follows:

Product R (P178,000 25,000) P7.12

Product S (120,000 15,000) P8.00
Product T (102,000 10,000) P10.20
16. First allocate the joint cost among the three products:
Products Sales Value Ratio Allocated Joint Cost

19. The requirement is to determine the effect on gross margin by reporting the sale of a
by-product as additional sales revenue instead of a deduction from the major products
cost of goods sold. The solutions approach is to determine what is currently being done,
then calculate the effect of the accounting change. To facilitate understanding, assume
that peso amounts for sales and cost of goods sold (CGS) are P300,000 and P200,000,
respectively.
Present Method Proposed Method
Sales P300,000 P300,000 + P90,000*
CGS P200,000 P90,000 P200,000
Gross Margin P190,000 P190,000
*100,000 units x (P1 selling price P0.10 selling cost)
Note that the change in accounting treatment has no effect on gross margin.
20. The requirement is to find the cost of sales for both gasoline and the gasoline by-
product. The value of the by-products may be recognized at two points in time: (1) at
the time of production, or (2) at the time of sale. Under the production method (as
given in the problem), the net realizable value of the by-products produced is deducted
from the cost of the major products produced. The net realizable value of the by-
product is as follows:

Sales value of by-product P30,000

Less: Separable costs 25,000 (10,000 + 15,0000)
Net realizable value 5,000

Therefore, cost of sales for gasoline is calculated as follows:

Total production (joint) costs P120,000

Less: Net realizable value of by-product 5,000
Net Production Cost 115,000
Less: Costs in 12/31/13 inventory 15,000
Cost of Sales P100,000

Therefore, total cost of gasoline sales is P100,000, and no cost of sales is reported for
the by-product.
21. The requirement is to determine how to allocate joint cost using the net realizable value
(NRV) method when a by-product is involved. NRV is the predicted selling price in the
ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion and
disposal. The joint cost of P54,000 is reduced by the NRV of the by-product (P4,000) to
get the allocable joint cost (P50,000). The computation is:
Products Sales Value at Split-off Weighting Joint Costs Allocated
JJ P40,000 40,000/75,000 x 50,000 P26,667
MM 35,000 35,000/75,000 x 50,000 23,333
P75,000 P50,000
Therefore, P26,667 of the joint cost should be allocated to product JJ.
22. The entry in answer choice b is the result of the following procedures related to the
by-product sales:

a) Reduce the manufacturing costs of Coco by the estimated realizable value of by-
product sales:

Work in process Saloc P75,000

Work in process Coco P75,000
Computation:
Sales price of Saloc (45,000 x P3) P135,000
Less: Further processing cost 60,000
Net realizable value of Saloc P 75,000
b) Record further processing costs of Saloc:
Work in process Saloc P60,000
Raw materials 30,000
Direct labor 22,500
Factory overhead 7,500
c) Record cost of By-Product transferred to stockroom:
By-product Saloc 135,000
Work in process Saloc 135,000
23. First compute the allocable joint cost to PP and VV.

Joint cost P172,000

Less: Cost of by-product ZZ:
Sales price (1,000 x P5) P5,000
Less: Operating expense (1,000 x P2) 2,000

Allocable Joint Cost P170,000

Allocated as follows:
Sales Value at Split-off Ratio Allocated Joint Costs
PP: 5,000 x (P50-P10) P200,000 200/340 P100,000
VV: 4,000 x (40-5) 140,000 140/340 70,000
Total P340,000 P170,000

The gross profit from sales of PP can now be computed:

Less: Allocated joint cost 100,000
Further processing cost (5,000 x P10) 50,000 150,000

Selling price per unit (45,000 15,000) P 1.50
Sales value at split-off P67,500
 Before answering numbers 32-34, prepare a schedule of allocating joint cost of
P180,000 (total cost in Department 1) among the joint products as follows:
Product Final Additional Estimated % Allocated
Sales value Processing cost Net realizable Joint cost
D P67,500 - P67,500 30% P54,000
E 144,000 P99,000 45,000 20% 36,000
F 283,500 171,000 112,500 50% 90,000
P225,000
