Honey butter 10,000 4.00 $3.00 $6.00
Honey jam 20,000 6.40 $4.00 $14.00
Honey syrup 1,000 3.00 $0.40 $3.60

Each container of honey butter, jam, and syrup, respectively, contains 16 ounces, 8 ounces, and 3 ounces of product.

  1. Determine which products should be processed beyond the split off point.
  2. Assume honey syrup should be treated as a by-product.
  3. Allocate the joint cost based on units produced, weight, and sales value at split off. Use the net realizable value approach, assuming by-product revenues reduce joint production costs. (Round proportions to the nearest whole percentage and dollar amounts to the nearest whole dollar.)
