Requirement 2
Answer:C.For Product A: $51,790, for Product B: $30,210
Explanation:
Allocation joint costs using the relative-market-value method
		Market value		Allocated Joint Costs

Total		1,90,000		82,000
Requirement 3.
Answer: B. For Product A: $36,444, for Product B: $45,556
Allocation joint costs using the physical-measure method
	Physical units			Allocated Joint Costs
Product A	8,000		(82,000/18,000*8,000)	36,444
Product B	10,000		(82,000/18,000*10,000)	45,556
