Net Realizable Value Method, Decision to Sell at Split-off or Process Further

Pacheco, Inc., produces two products, overs and unders, in a single process. The joint costs of this process were $50,000, and 15,000 units of overs and 35,000 units of unders were produced. Separable processing costs beyond the split-off point were as follows: overs, $20,000; unders, $19,900. Overs sell for $2.00 per unit; unders sell for $3.14 per unit.

Required:

1. Allocate the $50,000 joint costs using the estimated net realizable value method.

	Allocated Joint Cost
Overs	$
Unders	$

2. Suppose that overs could be sold at the split-off point for $1.80 per unit. Should Pacheco sell overs at split-off or process them further? Overs should not be processed further as there will be $ __________ more profit if sold at split-off.
