are $8,000.

Butler Manufacturing Company makes three products: A and B are considered main products and C a by-product.
Production and sales for the year were: 220,000 lbs. of Product A, salable at $6.00
180,000 lbs. of Product B, salable at $3.00
50,000 lbs. of Product C, salable at $.90
Production costs for the year:
Joint costs $276,600
Costs after separation:
Product A 320,000
Product B 190,000
Product C 6,900
Required: Using the by-product revenue as a cost reduction and net realizable value method of assigning joint costs,
COMPUTE UNIT COSTS
(a) if C is a by-product of the process (6 points)
ANS:
a. JOINT COST $276,600

- NRV C (38,100) (50,000 - $.90) - $ 6,900
TO ALLOCATE $238,500
SALES VALUE - COST AFTER SEPARATION = NRV

220,000  $6 = $1,320,000 - $320,000 = $1,000,000
180,000  $3 = $ 540,000 - $190,000 = 350,000
$1,350,000
ALLOCATION
$1,000,000/$1,350,000  $238,500 = $176,667
$ 350,000/$1,350,000  $238,500 = 61,833
$238,500
UNIT COST:
A ($176,667 + $320,000)/220,000 = $2.26
B ($61,833 + $190,000)/180,000 = $1.40
Notes:
In computing the Net Realizable Value at Split-Off, no further processing costs will be incurred since it will be sold as is.
Therefore, the SEPARABLE COST related to this method is only the disposal cost.
*Sales Value at Split-Off – Separable Cost
NRV at Split-Off = Sales Value at Split-off – Disposal Cost
In Computing the Approximated Net Realizable Value, further processing costs and disposal costs will be incurred and
shall both form part of the separable costs.
*Sales Value at Split-Off – Separable Cost
Approximated NRV = Ultimate Selling Price - Further Processing Costs - Disposal Cost
