By what criteria would management determine whether to proceed with processing at each decision point in a joint production process?
The criteria that the management would determine whether to proceed with processing at each decision point in a joint production process are categorized at various strategies. The three decision points are (1) before the joint process is undertaken, (2) at the split-off point, and (3) after the split-off point. The criterion for proceeding at any point is whether the anticipated incremental revenues will exceed the anticipated incremental costs.
