Joint cost allocation net realizable value method Nature's Garden Inc. produces wood chips, wood pulp, and mulch. These products are produced through harvesting trees and sending the logs through a wood chipper machine. One batch of logs produces 20,092 cubic yards of wood chips, 14,450 cubic yards of mulch, and 9,098 cubic yards of wood pulp. The joint production process costs a total of $37,000 per batch. After the split-off point, wood chips are immediately sold for $27 per cubic yard while wood pulp and mulch are processed further. The market value of the wood pulp and mulch at the split-off point is estimated to be $25 and $30 per cubic yard, respectively. The additional production process of the wood pulp costs $4 per cubic yard, after which it is sold for $35 per cubic yard.
