Marin Products produces three products — DBB-1, DBB-2, and DBB-3 from a joint process. Each product may be sold at the split-off point or processed further. Additional processing requires no special facilities, and production costs of further processing are entirely variable and traceable to the products involved. Key information about Marin's production, sales, and costs follows.

The amount of joint costs allocated to product DBB-3 using the net realizable value method is (calculate all ratios and percentages to 2 decimal places, for example 33.33%, and round all dollar amounts to the nearest whole dollar)
SOLUTION
| DBB-1 | DBB-2 | DBB-3 | ||
| Units sold (a) | 18,000 | 28,000 | 40,000 | |
| Price (b) | $55 | $40 | $65 | |
| New sales value (c=a*b) | 990,000 | 1,120,000 | 2,600,000 | |
| Separable Processing cost (d) | 261,000 | 106,000 | 157,000 | |
| Total estimated net realisable value (c-d) | 729,000 | 1,014,000 | 2,443,000 | 4,186,000 |
Total joint cost = $4,000,000
Allocation of joint cost to DBB-3 = Proportion of net realisable value / Total net realisable value of all three products* Total joint cost
= $2,443,000 / $4,186,000 * $4,000,000
= $2,334,448.17
