The present value of all future cash inflows minus the present value

simulated net realizable value at the split-off point; approximated
value is computed as final sales price minus
incremental separate costs

but the sales value of by-products is not substantial enough
for management to justify undertaking the joint process; it
is viewed as having a higher sales value than scrap

details all operating and cost information, shows the computation
of cost per equivalent unit, and indicates cost assignment
to goods produced during the period

of units to produce at one time that minimizes the total
costs of setting up production runs and carrying inventory

rate of return on that project is equal to, higher than, or
lower than the desired rate of return


net realizable value approach

a method of accounting for by-products or scrap that requires that the net realizable value of these products be treated as a reduction in the cost of the primary products; primary product cost may be reduced by decreasing either
(1) cost of goods sold when the joint products are sold or
(2) the joint process cost allocated to the joint products


net realizable value at split-off allocation

to prepare and dispose of the products; it requires
that all joint products be salable at the split-off point
