A. Rockwell Company manufactures products C and R from a jointprocess. The total joint costs are $120,000. The net realizablevalue at split off was $140,000 for 8,000 units of product C and$60,000 for 2,000 units of product R.
1. Using the information in Part a,calculate the amount of joint costs to be allocated to Products Cand R using the NET REALIZABLE VALUE METHOD.

Answer the following questions related to jointcosts:
Are joint costs allocated to By-products? (yes or )___NO____
What are 2 ways that the proceeds fromby-products can be shown on the Income Statement?
Use the proceeds from the by-productto reduce the joint cost.
The proceeds from the by-product areshown as other revenue in the revenue section of the incomestatement.
The two asset recognition methods:The net realizable value method that shows the net realizable valueof the by-products on the incomestatement as a deduction from thetotal manufacturing cost of the joint products in the period inwhich the by-product is produced. OR The other income at productionpoint method that shows the net realizable value of by-products onthe income statement as other income or other sales revenue in theperiod in which the by-product is
The two revenue methods:The other income at selling point method shows the net salesrevenue from a by-product sold at time of sale on the incomestatement as other income or other sales revenue. OR Themanufacturing cost reduction at selling point method shows the netsales revenue from a by-product sold at time of sale on the incomestatement as a reduction of total manufacturing cost.
What is the difference between BY-PRODUCTS and SCRAP?
By-products are incidental products with a relatively low orminor value in comparison with the sales value of the jointproducts, yet have a positive net realizable value; the proceedsfrom by-products can be shown on the income statement as otherrevenue or as a decrease to the joint cost. On the other hand,scrap is an incidental product that has a negative net realizablevalue; the disposal cost related to the scrap is added to jointcost, which is allocated to the main products.
