Dorsey
Company manufactures three products from a common input in a joint
processing operation. Joint processing costs up to the split-off point
total $95,000 per quarter. The company allocates these costs to the
joint products on the basis of their relative sales value at the
split-off point. Unit selling prices and total output at the split-off
point are as follows:
| Product | Selling Price | Quarterly Output | ||||
| A | $ | 4 | per pound | 13,000 | pounds | |
| B | $ | 5 | per pound | 18,000 | pounds | |
| C | $ | 11 | per gallon | 6,000 | gallons | |
| | ||||||

Each
product can be processed further after the split-off point. Additional
processing requires no special facilities. The additional processing
costs (per quarter) and unit selling prices after further processing are
given below:
|
| Product | Additional Processing Costs | Selling Price | ||||
| A | $ | 36,000 | $ | 6 | per pound | |
| B | $ | 38,000 | $ | 9 | per pound | |
| C | $ | 9,000 | $ | 14 | per gallon | |
