Chapter 11, Problem 74P
Effect of By-Product versus Joint Cost Accounting
Fisher Chemicals processes a liquid into three outputs: Sigma, Tau, and Upsilon. Sigma accounts for 60 percent of the net realizable value at the split-off point, Tau accounts for 30 percent, and Upsilon accounts for the balance. The joint costs total $640,000. If Upsilon is accounted for as a by-product, its $70,000 net realizable value at split-off is credited to the joint
Required
- a. What are the allocated joint costs for the three outputs
- 1. If Upsilon is accounted for as a joint product?
- 2. If Upsilon is accounted for as a by-product?
- b. Management does not understand why joint costs are allocated to Upsilon differently when it is accounted for as a by-product. Write a brief memo explaining why this occurs.
