Item 1 | Item 2 | Item 3 | Total | |||||||||
Units Produced | 20,000 | 25,000 | 10,000 | 55,000 | ||||||||
Sales Value at Split-off | $ | 150,000 | $ | 50,000 | $ | 20,000 | $ | 220,000 | ||||

Joint Costs | $ | 100,000 | ||||||||||
Required:
Allocate the joint costs using the net realizable value method.
Sol. Under Net realizable value method the Cost to be allocated as the excess revenue to be generated from further processing i.e NRV = Estimated Sales Value − Estimated Cost to Further Process and Sell. Thus following are the calculations :
Item 1 - [Joint Cost * Excess revenue from further process for item 1] / [Excess revenue from item 1 + item 2 +item 3]
= [100000 * (170000 - 10000)] / [(170000 - 10000) + (90000 - 30000) + (28000 - 5000)]
= 16000000000 / 243000
= $65,844
Item 2 - [Joint Cost * Excess revenue from further process for item 2] / [Excess revenue from item 1 + item 2 +item 3]
= [100000 * (90000 - 30000)] / [(170000 - 10000) + (90000 - 30000) + (28000 - 5000)]
= 6000000000 / 243000
= $24,691
Item 3 - [Joint Cost * Excess revenue from further process for item 3] / [Excess revenue from item 1 + item 2 +item 3]
= [100000 * (28000 - 5000)] / [(170000 - 10000) + (90000 - 30000) + (28000 - 5000)]
= 6000000000 / 243000
= $9,465
Total allocation = 65844 + 24691 + 9465 = $ 100,000
