1. Physical Measure
Costs of Product X: (Quantity of X / quantity of X+Y) * joint costs
Costs of Product Y: (Quantity of Y / quantity of X+Y) * joint costs
2. Sales value at split-off
Costs of Product X:
( Price of X∗quantity of X )
¿¿
Costs of Product Y:
( Price of Y∗quantity of Y )
¿¿
3. Net realizable value (NRV)
Product X costs: Quantity of X∗(price after additional processing – extra costs)
Product Y costs: Quantity of Y ∗( price after additional processing – extra costs)
JC product X: Product X costs/( Product X costs+ Product Y costs) Joint costs

Cost allocation 2
Department Actual costs Used by (%):
HR IT Cup Saucer
HR 1.8M - 10 20 70
IT 7.2 25 - 50 25
Direct method
Cost of division x: share x / total * cost. Ignores department percentages.
Example:
Assign support department costs to the two production divisions:
Cup: 0.2/0.9 * 1.8 + 0.5/0.75 * 7.2 = 5.2
Step down method
Same example as earlier.
1. HR to IT: .1 * 1.8 = .18
2. HR to CUP: .2 * 1.8 = .36
3. HR to SAU: .7 * 1.8 = 1.26
IT costs become 7.2 + .18 = 7.38
4. IT to CUP: .67 * 7.38 = 4.92
5. IT to SAU: .33 * 7.38 = 2.46
IT to HR cost: 1 = .18
Total Cup costs: 2 + 4 = .36 + 4.92 = 5.28
Total Saucer cost: 3 + 5 = 1.26 + 2.46 = 3.72
Cup + Saucer: 5.28 + 3.72 = 9
