Problem 13-41 Sell at Split-Off or Process Further Eunice Company produces two products from a joint process. Joint costs are $70,000 for one batch, which yields 1,000 litres of germain and 4,000 litres of hastain. Germain can be sold at the split-off point for $24 or processed further, into geraiten, at a manufacturing cost of $4,100 (for the 1,000 litres) and sold for $33 per litre. If geraiten is sold, additional distribution costs of $0.80 per litre and sales commissions of 10 percent of sales will be incurred. In addition, Eunice's legal department is concerned about potential liability issues with geraiten issues that do not arise with germain. Required: 1. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Considering only gross profit, should germain be sold at the split-off point or processed further? 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Taking a value-chain approach (by considering distribution, marketing, and after-the-sale costs), determine whether or not germain should be processed into geraiten
