The Physical Unit
method of allocation joint costing is used for separable products and cost is
based on the weight allocated to each portion of the production. The formula
for the Physical Unit method is as follows:
For explaining this method we have many examples but the
example which I am going to give there that is from the Oil sector. The Oil
rigging is a process to produce the oil which a natural resource but during the
producing process there are many other by products which we abstract from this
process the oil companies use the same resources but with the different
production costs which are actually joint costs with each other. That example
helps us to understand these methods.
