All-A-Buzz makes three products from a joint production process using honey. Joint cost for the process for the year is $221,760.
Per Unit Incremental
Units of Selling Price Processing Final Sales
Product Output at Split-Off Cost Price
Honey butter 18,000 4.00 $3.00 $6.00
Honey jam 36,000 6.40 4.00 14.00
Honey syrup 1,800 3.00 0.40 3.60
Each container of honey butter, jam, and syrup, respectively, contains 16 ounces, 8 ounces, and 3 ounces of product.
a. Determine which products should be processed beyond the split-off point.
b. Assume honey syrup should be treated as a by-product. Allocate the joint cost based on units produced, weight, and sales value at split-off. Use the net realizable value method in accounting for the by-product. (Round to nearest whole percentage.)

Total              55,800

Cost based on units = $3.97

Units produced:

Honey butter = $71,535 ($221,760 * 18,000/55,800)

Honey jam = $143,071 ($221,760 * 36,000/55,800)

Honey syrup = $7,154 ($221,760 * 1,800/55,800)

Weight:

Honey butter = 288,000 (18,000 * 16)

Honey jam = 288,000 (36,000 * 8)

Honey syrup = 5,400 (1,800 * 3)

Total weight = 581,400

Honey butter = $109,850 ($221,760 * 288,000/581,400)

Honey jam = $109,850 ($221,760 * 288,000/581,400)

Honey syrup = $2,060 ($221,760 * 5,400/581,400)

Sales value at split-off:

Honey butter = $72,000 (18,000 * $4.00)

Honey jam = $230,400 (36,000 * $6.40)

Honey syrup = $5,400 (1,800 * $3.00)

Total sales value at split-off = $307,800

Honey butter = $51,874 ($72,000/$307,800 * $221,760)

Honey jam = $165,996 ($230,400/$307,800 * $221,760)

Honey syrup = $3,890 ($5,400/$307,800 * $221,760)
