Which joint cost allocation method is described by the following statement? Joint cost is backed into. First, overall sales revenue minus overall costs (joint plus further processing costs) is calculated to yield gross profit and the gross profit percentage. Then, each product is assigned the same cost of goods sold percentage.

Figure 6-8 James Ltd. produces three products in a joint process: A, B, and C. The joint costs are as follows: The split-off values for A, B, and C are £80,000, £100,000, and £60,000, respectively. If management processes the three products beyond the split-off point, sales values for A, B, and C would increase to £150,000, £130,000, and £120,000, respectively. In order to process the products further, the company must incur separable costs of £14,000, £12,000, and £10,000 for products A, B, and C, respectively.
