Constant Gross-Margin Percentage NRV Method

1. Constant Gross-MarginPercentage NRV Method Step 2: Deduct the gross margin. Sales Gross Cost of ValueMarginGoods sold Product A1: $120,000 $ 63,559 $ 56,441 Product B1: 346,500 183,527 162,973 Product C1: 241,500 127,913 113,587 Total $708,000 $375,000 $333,000 ($1 rounding)

3. Approach 2: PhysicalMeasure Method Example $200,000 joint cost 20,000 pounds A 48,000 pounds B 12,000 pounds C Product A $50,000 Product B $120,000 Product C $30,000

4. Learning Objective 5 Explain why the sales value at splitoff method is preferred when allocating joint costs.

5. Choosing a Method Why is the sales value at splitoff method widely used? It measures the value of the joint product immediately. It does not anticipate subsequent management decisions. It uses a meaningful basis. It is simple.

6. Choosing a Method The purpose of the joint-cost allocation is important in choosing the allocation method. The physical-measure method is a more appropriate method to use in rate regulation.

7. Avoiding Joint Cost Allocation Some companies refrain from allocating joint costs and instead carry their inventories at estimated net realizable value.

8. Learning Objective 6 Explain why joint costs are irrelevant in a sell-or-process-further decision.

9. Irrelevance of Joint Costsfor Decision Making Assume that products A, B, and C can be sold at the splitoff point or processed further into A1, B1, and C1. Selling Selling Additional Unitspricepricecosts 10,000 A: $10 A1: $12 $35,000 10,500 B: $30 B1: $33 $46,500 11,500 C: $20 C1: $21 $51,500

10. Irrelevance of Joint Costsfor Decision Making Should A, B, or C be sold at the splitoff point or processed further? Product A: Incremental revenue $20,000 – Incremental cost $35,000 = ($15,000) Product B: Incremental revenue $31,500 – Incremental cost $46,500 = ($15,000) Product C: Incremental revenue $11,500 – Incremental cost $51,500 = ($40,000)

11. Learning Objective 7 Account for byproducts using two different methods.

12. Accounting for Byproducts Method A: The production method recognizes byproducts at the time their production is completed. Method B: The sale method delays recognition of byproducts until the time of their sale.

13. Accounting for ByproductsExample Main Products Byproducts (Yards) (Yards) Production 1,000 400 Sales 800300 Ending inventory 200 100 Sales price $13/yard $1.00/yard No beginning finished goods inventory

14. Accounting for ByproductsExample Joint production costs for joint (main) products and byproducts: Material $2,000 Manufacturing labor 3,000 Manufacturing overhead 4,000 Total production cost $9,000

15. Accounting for ByproductsMethod A Method A: The production method What is the value of ending inventory of joint (main) products? $9,000 total production cost – $400 net realizable value of the byproduct = $8,600 net production cost for the joint products

16. Accounting for ByproductsMethod A 200 ÷ 1,000 × $8,600 = $1,720 is the value assigned to the 200 yards in ending inventory. What is the cost of goods sold? Joint production costs $9,000 Less byproduct revenue 400 Less main product inventory 1,720 Cost of goods sold $6,880

17. Accounting for ByproductsMethod A Income Statement (Method A) Revenues: (800 yards × $13) $10,400 Cost of goods sold 6,880 Gross margin $ 3,520 What is the gross margin percentage? $3,520 ÷ $10,400 = 33.85%

18. Accounting for ByproductsMethod A What are the inventoriable costs? Main product: 200 ÷ 1,000 × $8,600 = $1,720 Byproduct: 100 × $1.00 = $100

19. Journal Entries Method A Work in Process 2,000 Accounts Payable 2,000 To record direct materials purchased and used in production Work in Process 7,000 Various Accounts 7,000 To record conversion costs in the joint process

20. Journal Entries Method A Byproduct Inventory 400 Finished Goods 8,600 Work in Process 9,000 To record cost of goods completed Cost of Goods Sold 6,880 Finished Goods 6,880 To record the cost of the main product sold

21. Journal Entries Method A Cash or Accounts Receivable 10,400 Revenues 10,400 To record the sale of the main product

22. Accounting for ByproductsMethod B Method B: The sale method What is the value of ending inventory of joint (main) products? 200 ÷ 1,000 × $9,000 = $1,800 No value is assigned to the 400 yards of byproducts at the time of production. The $300 resulting from the sale of byproducts is reported as revenues.

23. Accounting for ByproductsMethod B Income Statement (Method B) Revenues: Main product (800 × $13) $10,400 Byproducts sold 300 Total revenues $10,700 Cost of goods sold: Joint production costs 9,000 Less main product inventory 1,800 $ 7,200 Gross margin $ 3,200

24. Accounting for ByproductsMethod B What is the gross margin percentage? $3,200 ÷ $10,700 = 29.91% What are the inventoriable costs? Main product: 200 ÷ 1,000 × $9,000 = $1,800 By-product: -0-

25. Journal Entries Method B Work in Process 2,000 Accounts Payable 2,000 To record direct materials purchased and used in production Work in Process 7,000 Various Accounts 7,000 To record conversion costs in the joint process

26. Journal Entries Method B Finished Goods 9,000 Work in Process 9,000 To record cost of goods completed Cost of Goods Sold 7,200 Finished Goods 7,200 To record the cost of the main product sold

27. Journal Entries Method B Cash or Accounts Receivable 10,400 Revenues 10,400 To record the sale of the main product Cash or Accounts Receivable 300 Revenues 300 To record the sale of the byproduct
