Problem 17-27 Joint Costs (LO 17-4, 17-5)

[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]

Snake River Sawmill manufactures two lumber products from a joint milling process. The two products developed are mine support braces (MSB) and unseasoned commercial building lumber (CBL). A standard production run incurs joint costs of $460,000 and results in 76,000 units of MSB and 106,000 units of CBL. Each MSB sells for $2, and each unit of CBL sells for $10.
