Definitions:

Joint Cost

Costs incurred in the process of producing two or more products simultaneously from the same input or process.

Split-Off Point

The split-off point is the stage in a manufacturing process where joint products can be recognized as separate products, each with its own identity.

Joint Products

Joint products refer to two or more products that are generated from a common set of inputs or production processes, where no single product can be identified as the main product until a certain point in the production process.

Fixed Cost

A cost that remains constant, in total, regardless of changes in the level of activity within the relevant range. If a fixed cost is expressed on a per unit basis, it varies inversely with the level of activity.
