Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of a joint product: Joint products are two or more products that are generated simultaneously from a single production process up to a certain point, called the split-off point.
Define the split-off point: The split-off point is the stage in the production process where joint products can be identified as separate and distinct products.
Recognize the decision type: At the split-off point, the decision revolves around whether to sell the joint product as is or to process it further to enhance its value. This is known as a 'sell or process further' decision.
Analyze the costs and benefits: To make this decision, compare the additional revenue that could be earned from further processing with the additional costs incurred. If the incremental revenue exceeds the incremental costs, further processing is typically recommended.
Apply the decision-making framework: Use relevant financial data, such as incremental costs and revenues, to evaluate the profitability of each option and make an informed decision.
