4/4/2012

Why Allocate Joint Costs?


to compute inventory cost and cost of goods sold to determine cost reimbursement under contracts

for insurance settlement computations


for rate regulation for litigation purposes
4/4/2012 9

Learning Objective 4

Allocate joint costs using four different methods.

Approaches to Allocating Joint Costs

Two basic ways to allocate joint costs to products are:

Approach 1: Market based


4/4/2012

Approach 2: Physical measure


11

Approach 1: Market-based Data


Sales value at splitoff method Estimated net realizable value (NRV) method

Constant gross-margin percentage NRV method

Allocating Joint Costs Example


10,000 units of A at a selling price of $10 = $100,000 10,500 units of B at a selling price of $30 = $315,000 11,500 units of C at a selling price of $20 = $230,000

Joint processing cost is $200,000

Allocating Joint Costs Example


A $100,000 B $315,000 C $230,000 Total $645,000

Sales Value at Splitoff Method Example


Assume all of the units produced of B and C were sold. 2,500 units of A (25%) remain in inventory. What is the gross margin percentage of each product?
4/4/2012 15

Sales Value at Splitoff Method Example


Product A Revenues: 7,500 units $10.00 Cost of goods sold: Joint product costs $31,008 Less ending inventory $31,008 25% 7,752 Gross margin $75,000

23,256 $51,744

16

Sales Value at Splitoff Method Example


Product A: ($75,000 $ 23,256) $75,000 = 69% Product B: ($315,000 $97,674) $315,000 = 69% Product C: ($230,000 $71,318) $230,000 = 69%
4/4/2012 17

Estimated Net Realizable Value (NRV) Method Example

Assume that Oklahoma Company can process products A, B, and, C further into A1, B1, and C1. The new sales values after further processing are: A1: B1: C1: 10,000 $12.00 10,500 $33.00 11,500 $21.00 = $120,000 = $346,500 = $241,500
4/4/2012 18

Estimated Net Realizable Value (NRV) Method Example


Additional processing (separable) costs are as follows:

A1: $35,000

B1: $46,500

C1: $51,500

What is the estimated net realizable value of each product at the splitoff point?
4/4/2012 19

Estimated Net Realizable Value (NRV) Method Example


Product A1: $120,000 $35,000 = $85,000 Product B1: $346,500 $46,500 = $300,000

Product C1: $241,500 $51,500 = $190,000


How much of the joint cost is allocated to each product?

Estimated Net Realizable Value (NRV) Method Example


To A1: 85 575 $200,000 = $29,565 To B1: 300 575 $200,000 = $104,348 To C1: 190 575 $200,000 = $66,087

Constant Gross-Margin Percentage NRV Method


This method entails three steps: Step 1: Compute the overall gross-margin percentage. Step 2: Use the overall gross-margin percentage and deduct the gross margin from the final sales values to obtain the total costs that each product should bear.
4/4/2012 23

Constant Gross-Margin Percentage NRV Method


Step 3: Deduct the expected separable costs from the total costs to obtain the joint-cost allocation.

4/4/2012

24

Constant Gross-Margin Percentage NRV Method


What is the expected final sales value of total production during the accounting period? Product A1: $120,000 Product B1: 346,500 Product C1: 241,500 Total $708,000
4/4/2012 25

Constant Gross-Margin Percentage NRV Method


Step 1: Compute the overall gross-margin percentage. Expected final sales value $708,000 Deduct joint and separable costs 333,000 Gross margin $375,000 Gross margin percentage: $375,000 $708,000 = 52.966%
4/4/2012 26

Constant Gross-Margin Percentage NRV Method


Step 2: Deduct the gross margin. Sales Gross Cost of Value Margin Goods sold Product A1: $120,000 $ 63,559 $ 56,441 Product B1: 346,500 183,527 162,973 Product C1: 241,500 127,913 113,587 Total $708,000 $375,000 $333,000

Learning Objective 5

Explain why the sales value at splitoff method is preferred when allocating joint costs.

4/4/2012

30

Choosing a Method
Why is the sales value at splitoff method widely used? It measures the value of the joint product immediately.
It uses a meaningful basis.
4/4/2012

It does not anticipate subsequent management decisions.


It is simple.
31

Choosing a Method
The purpose of the joint-cost allocation is important in choosing the allocation method. The physical-measure method is a more appropriate method to use in rate regulation.

4/4/2012

32

Avoiding Joint Cost Allocation

Some companies refrain from allocating joint costs and instead carry their inventories at estimated net realizable value.

4/4/2012

33

Learning Objective 6

Explain why joint costs are irrelevant in a sell-or-process-further decision.

4/4/2012

34

Irrelevance of Joint Costs for Decision Making


Assume that products A, B, and C can be sold at the splitoff point or processed further into A1, B1, and C1. Selling Selling Additional Units price price costs 10,000 A: $10 A1: $12 $35,000 10,500 B: $30 B1: $33 $46,500 11,500 C: $20 C1: $21 $51,500
4/4/2012 35

Irrelevance of Joint Costs for Decision Making


Should A, B, or C be sold at the splitoff point or processed further? Product A: Incremental revenue $20,000 Incremental cost $35,000 = ($15,000) Product B: Incremental revenue $31,500 Incremental cost $46,500 = ($15,000) Product C: Incremental revenue $11,500 Incremental cost $51,500 = ($40,000)

Learning Objective 7

Account for byproducts using two different methods.

4/4/2012

37

Accounting for Byproducts


Method A: The production method recognizes byproducts at the time their production is completed. Method B: The sale method delays recognition of byproducts until the time of their sale.
4/4/2012 38

Accounting for Byproducts Example


Main Products Byproducts (Yards) (Yards) Production 1,000 400 Sales 800 300 Ending inventory 200 100 Sales price $13/yard $1.00/yard No beginning finished goods inventory
4/4/2012 39

Accounting for Byproducts Example


Joint production costs for joint (main) products and byproducts: Material $2,000 Manufacturing labor 3,000 Manufacturing overhead 4,000 Total production cost $9,000
4/4/2012 40

Accounting for Byproducts Method A


Method A: The production method What is the value of ending inventory of joint (main) products? $9,000 total production cost $400 net realizable value of the byproduct = $8,600 net production cost for the joint products
4/4/2012 41

Accounting for Byproducts Method A


200 1,000 $8,600 = $1,720 is the value assigned to the 200 yards in ending inventory. What is the cost of goods sold? Joint production costs Less byproduct revenue Less main product inventory Cost of goods sold
