Monthly joint production coststotal $184,000 and are allocated to the two products equally.Product W can either be sold at the split-off point for $6.10 perunit or it can be processed further and then sold for $8.80 perunit. If Product W is processed further, additional processingcosts of $3.20 per unit will be incurred. Product P can also besold either at the split-off point for $4.25 per unit or it can beprocessed further and then sold for $7.60 per unit.
