(i) There are four methods that can be used to allocate joint costs and they are
as follows:
➢ Physical measures method
Using this method, joint costs are allocated on the basis of the volume of
output of each joint product. This method is more appropriate when the
output is measured in the same way and selling prices are fairly similar.
Although all the joint products are being measured in kgs, this method
could only be appropriate if the selling prices of raw sugar at R11.50
(115 ÷ 10) per kg and molasses R9.60 (240 ÷ 25) per kg are considered
fairly similar.
➢ Market value at split off point method
Using this method, joint costs are allocated based on the estimated sales
value of the joint products at the split off point. This method can only be
appropriate if it is possible to determine the market values of the joint
products at the split off point. If the market value of the raw sugar can be
determined at the split off point, then this method can be appropriate.
➢ Net realizable method
Using this method, joint costs are allocated based on the final selling price
less the cost of further processing. Though this method results in the
valuation of inventory at lower than the net realizable value, it may result
in variations in the gross profit percentages of the various joint products.
➢ Constant gross profit percentage method
Using this method, joint costs are allocated in such a manner that all the
joint products will yield the same gross profit margin. The advantage is all
products will yield the same gross profit percentage.
