Which costs are incurred after split

Separable costs are those costs incurred after the split-off point; they can be easily traced to individual products. 1. The distinction between joint products and by-products rests solely on the relative importance of their sales value.

What is meant by split

A split-off point is the point of production at which joint products appear in the production process. For example, when a company was preparing its financial statements, it realized that because it showed no profit or loss, it was unattractive to investors.

What is sales value at split off?

2. Sales Value at Split-off Point Method: If a market price can be estab- lished for the (intermediate) products at the split-off point, the joint costs can be allocated in proportion to the sales value of the products.

Is costs incurred beyond the split

Separable costs are all costs that are incurred beyond the split-off point that can be assigned to each of the products that are identified at the split-off point.
