Accounting for
Joint Products
and By-Products
What are Joint Products?

Joint products are individual products, each with significant sales value, which are
produced simultaneously from the same raw materials and/or manufacturing process.

Characteristics of Joint Products

Examples of Joint Products


JOINT COSTS AND THE SPLIT-OFF POINT

Joint costs or common costs consist of direct materials, direct labor and
manufacturing overhead incurred from the start of the process up t the
point of separation (split-off point). Those costs are indivisible, because
they cannot be identified to any of the products being simultaneously
produced.

Additional processing costs are costs incurred by each product, after they
emerged from the same raw materials. Additional processing costs also
consist also of additional materials, direct labor and manufacturing
overhead incurred after the split-off point.

METHODS OF ALLOCATING JOINT COSTS

• The physical measures method


• The sales value at split-off point
• The adjusted sales value method

Case 1:

Jose’s Dairy Products purchases raw milk from individual farms and processes it
until the split-off point, when two products- cream and liquid skim- emerged. These
two products are sold to a company, which markets and distributes them to
supermarket and other retail stores.
Summary data for April 2020 are:
• Raw milk processed, 55,000 gallons; 5,000 gallons are lost in the production due
to evaporation, spillage and the like, yielding 12,500 gallons of cream and 37,500
gallons of liquid skim.
• The production data and sales and inventories are presented in the next slide.

SALES VALUE AT SPLIT-OFF POINT METHOD
ADJUSTED SALES VALUE METHOD

Case 2:
Assume the same data as in case 1 except that both cream and liquid skim can be
processed further.
• Cream to whipping Cream: 12,500 gallons of cream are further processed to yield
10,000 gallons of whipping cream at additional processing costs of P140,000.
Whipping cream sells for P25 per gallon.
• Liquid skim to Condensed Milk: 37,500 gallons of liquid skim are further processed
to yield 25,000 gallons of condensed milk at additional processing costs of
P260,000. Condensed milk sells for P22 per gallon.
Sales during the period were 6,000 gallons of whipping cream and 22,500 gallons of
condensed milk. The ending inventories are as follows:
________________________________________
Raw milk 0 gallons
Cream 0 gallons There are no beginning
Liquid skim 0 gallons inventories
Whipping cream 4,000 gallons
Condensed milk 2,500 gallons
_____________________________________
Milky Production purchases raw material C from suppliers and
process it until split-off point to produce Products A and B.
Below is the summary of production.

1. Using the physical measure method, allocate the joint costs.


2. Prepare the Income Statement
3. Using the sales value at split-off point, allocate the joint costs
4. Prepare the Income Statement
Product A and Product B can be processed further to produce Product
M and Product N
• Product A can produce 15,000 gallon of Product M if processed
further at an additional processing cost of P150,000 and be sold for
P30 per gallon.
• Product B can produce 45,000 gallons of product N if processed
further at an additional processing cost of P200,000 and be sold for
P20 per gallon.

During the period 10,000 gallons of Product M and 30,000 gallons of


Product N were sold.

1. Determine the production cost per gallon of Products M and N.


2. Prepare the income statement
