Joint Products The Bean Company provides fresh coffee beans for restaurants, hotels and other food service companies. The Bean offers three types of coffee beans: Premium, Gourmet, and Quality. Each of the three coffees is produced in a joint process in which beans are cleaned and sorted. The sorting process is the split-off point in this joint process, and the output is the three types of beans. The beans can be sold at the split-off point or processed further, with different types of roasting and additional sorting. The additional processing requires additional, separable processing costs, as shown next. Separable processing requires no special facilities, and the production costs of further processing are entirely variable and traceable to the products involved. Last year all three products were processed beyond split-off. Joint production costs for the year were $90,000,000. Sales values and costs needed to evaluate the Beans production policy follow: Premium Gourmet Quality Total Pounds produced 10,000,000 12,000,000 2,000,000 24,000,000 Separable processing cost $9,000,000 $7,000,000 $5,000,000 $21,000,000 Pounds sold 10,000,000 12,000,000 2,000,000 24,000,000 Total joint cost $90,000,000 Sales price/lb.
