Dorsey Company manufactures three products from a common input in a joint processing operation. Joint processing costs up to the split-off point total $360,000 per quarter. For financial reporting purposes, 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 $ 22.00 per pound 13,400 pounds B $ 16.00 per pound 20,900 pounds C $ 28.00 per gallon 4,600 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 $ 75,970 $ 27.30 per pound B $ 109,395 $ 22.30 per pound C $ 48,260 $ 36.30 per gallon Required: 1.
