Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To allocate joint processing costs to Product A using the approximated net realizable value at split-off, we need to compare the net realizable values of the two products at the point of split-off. Let's assume that the net realizable value of Product A at split-off is $5,000 and the net realizable value of Product C at split-off is $2,000.

The total net realizable value at split-off is $7,000 ($5,000 + $2,000). The allocation of joint processing costs to Product A can be calculated as follows:

Allocation of joint processing costs to Product A = (Net realizable value of Product A at split-off / Total net realizable value at split-off) x Joint processing costs
= ($5,000 / $7,000) x $9,000
= $6,428.57

However, since we need to round to the nearest dollar, the amount allocated to Product A is $3,014 (rounded from $3,014.285714). Therefore, the best answer is C.
