Falco Industries may want to use the net realizable value method of allocating joint costs because it manufactures many products that are processed further after the split-off point and will be sold for a much higher price after the additional processing.

Net Realizable Value

The estimated selling price of an item of inventory less any direct costs of disposal, such as sales commissions; the value of the receivables reduced to the amount that is expected to be collected or realized, computed as accounts receivable less allowance for doubtful accounts.
