Joint product cost using relative sales value method


Products Alpha and Beta are joint products. The joint production cost of the products is $800. Alpha has a market value of $400 at the split-off point. If Alpha is further processed at an additional cost of $600, its market value is $1,400. Product Beta has a market value of $1,200 at the split-off point. If Product Beta is further processed at an additional cost of $300, its market value is $1,400. Using the relative sales value method, calculate the joint product cost that would be allocated to Alpha and Beta. How do you know if one of the products should be further processed?
