Net Realizable Value Method, Decision to Sell at Split-off or Process Further
Pacheco, Inc., produces two products, overs and unders, in a single process. The joint costs of this process were $60,000, and 15,000 units of overs and 36,000 units of unders were produced. Separable processing costs beyond the split-off point were as follows: overs, $20,000; unders, $23,040. Overs sell for $2.00 per unit; unders sell for $3.14 per unit.
Required:
1. Allocate the $60,000 joint costs using the estimated net realizable value method.
Allocated Joint Cost | |
Overs | $ |
Unders | $ |
2. Suppose that overs could be sold at the
split-off point for $1.80 per unit. Should Pacheco sell overs at
split-off or process them further?
Overs should not be processed further as there will be $
_________more profit if sold at split-off.
Calculate Joint Cost allocation
Sale value at after split off | Processing Cost | NRV | Allocation | |
Overs | 15000*2 = 30000 | 20000 | 10000 | 60000*10% = 6000 |
Unders | 36000*3.14 = 113040 | 23040 | 90000 | 54000 |
Total | 100000 | 60000 | ||
Calculate following
Sell after split | 2 |
Sell at split off | 1.80 |
Incremental price | 0.20 |
Unit | 15000 |
Incremental revenue | 3000 |
Incremental cost | -20000 |
Incremental profit (loss) | -17000 |
Over should not be processed further as there will be $17000 more profit if sold at split off
