Dorsey Company manufactures three products from a common input in a joint processing operation. Joint processing costs up to the split-off point total $97,000 per quarter. 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 | $ | 4 | per pound | 14,000 | pounds | |
| B | $ | 5 | per pound | 19,000 | pounds | |
| C | $ | 12 | per gallon | 5,000 | 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 | $ | 43,000 | $ | 6 | per pound |
