Formatted abstract This study investigates the defensible allocation method(s) for each particular decision (objective) involved in joint-cost allocation to build a "decision-allocation method" model. Three input requirements to the model were investigated:
         (1) the objectives for which joint-cost allocations are appropriate (Input 1); 
        (2) how objectives lead to the specification of allocation criteria (Input 2);
        (3) how allocation criteria guide the choice of defensible allocation methods (Input 3).

     Input 1 was obtained by basing the model on the premise that joint-cost allocations are appropriate for decision making. Input 2 was obtained through conducting a case study in a particular joint production process in a firm. Then, an analysis framework was provided to assist in the obtaining of Input 3.

     The resultant model would be used to: (1) refute Thomas' (1969, 1974) "allocation free" opinion and demonstrate the feasibility of cost allocation in managerial accounting; (2) promote decisions which are the most efficient and effective for the company as a whole.
