Explanation / Answer

Determine the total net income if all products are sold at the split-off point.

= $59000 + 15000 + 54000 - 100000

= $28,000 Net income

Determine the total net income if all products are sold after further processing.

= $189000 + 34000 + 214000 -100000 – 29000 – 149000 – 100000

= $59,000 Net income

Calculate incremental profit / (Loss) and determine which products should be sold at the split-off point and which should be processed further.

Product

Incremental Profit / (Loss)

Decision

Product 10

$30,000,Gain

Should be processed further

Product 12

($10,000), (Loss)

Should be sold at the split-off point

Product 14

$11,000,Gain

Should be processed further

Workings

Product 10 = $189000 – 100000 – 59000 = $30,000,Gain

Product 12 = $34000 – 29000 – 15000 = ($10,000), (Loss)

Product 14 = $214000 – 149000 – 54000 = $11,000,Gain

Determine the total net income using the results from previous part

= $189000 + 15000 + 214000 – 100000 – 100000 - 149000

= $69,000 Net income

Is the net income different from that determined in part (b) ?

Yes, Net Income is Increasing by “$10,000”

Increase in Net Income = $69,000 – 59,000 = $10,000
