Assume a company has three productsA, B, and Cthat emerge from a joint process. The selling prices and outputs for each product at the split-off point are as follows:

Product Selling Price Output
A $ 33 per pound 14,000 pounds
B $ 29 per pound 18,000 pounds
C $ 24 per pound 19,000 pounds

Each product can be processed further beyond the split-off point. The additional processing costs for each product and their respective selling prices after further processing are as follows:

Product Additional Processing Costs Selling Price
A $ 66,000 $ 37 per pound
B $ 73,500 $ 34 per pound
C $ 78,500 $ 30 per pound
