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 product’s 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.

main product) and Resi-Dew (the by-product). Both products are fully processed at
the split off point, and there are no separable costs.

For July 2013, the cost of the soft-drink operations is P120,000. Production and sales
data are as follows:

Use the following information in answering numbers 37 – 40:

The J&J Chemical Company produces a product knows as “VITAMIX” from which a
by- products results. This by-product can be sold at P4.14 per unit. The
manufacturing costs of the main product and by-product up to the point of
separation for the three months ended March 31, 2013 follows:
Materials P50,000
Labor 40,000
Overhead 30,000
 The units produced were 15,000 units for the main product and 900 units for the
by- product. During the period 12,000 units of the “VITAMIX” were sold at P16 per
unit, while the company was able to sell 600 units of the by-product. Selling and
administrative expenses related to the main product amounted to P18,000.
Disposal cost per unit of the by-product is P1.75.

1. Physical measures (units produced):

Add: A dditional processing c ost 9,000
Total c osts a llocated t o P roduct X P39,000  

Relative sales value at split-off:

Allocated joint c ost (P40,000/P100,000) x P 60,000 P24,000
Add: A dditional p rocessing c ost 9,000
Total c osts a llocated t o P roduct 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 ( P49,000 – P9,000) P40,000 - 40/100
X ( 42,000 – 7,000) 35,000 - 35/100
Product
Y
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 G’s 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    Add’l  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 P 320,000 140,000 180,000 180/400
400) P400,000

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

220
below: x P120,000 = P66,000 
400
5. The net realizable values for products PEL and VEL are:
PEL VEL
Sales value –
(800 x P 25 P20,000

0)
Costs t o c onvert i s alable f 8,000 12,000
nto a Net re alizable orm P12,000 P8,000
v alue
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.

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 A A ( 15,000 c osts x P 2) P30,000
Product BB ( 15,000 u nits x P 5) 75,000
Total P105,000

The ratio therefore are:

 AA = 30/105 or
29% BB = 75/105 or
71%

(N) P200,000
=

Sales P200,000 x P48,000

Value P120,000

= = P80,000 
(N)

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-

=
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

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 sa les p rice P78,000

Joint conversion:

200,000 x 1 6/50 = 88,000 64,000 48,000

Further p rocessing = 30,000 20,000 30,000
Total c ost o f p roduction 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

The unit cost can now be computed as follows:

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
product’s 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 + P 90,000*
CGS P200,000 – P90,000 P200,000
Gross M argin 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: S eparable c osts 25,000 (10,000 1 5,0000)
+ Net r ealizable v alue 5,000

Therefore, cost of sales for gasoline is calculated as

follows:

Total p roduction ( joint) c osts P120,000

Less: N et realizable value o f b y-product 5,000
Net P roduction C ost 115,000
Less: C osts i n 1 2/31/13 i nventory 15,000
Cost of Sa les 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
va lue (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 5 0,000
P26,667 MM 35,000
35,000/75,000 x 5 0,000 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
