Cost of Product Cardinals = Total Cost * Volume of Cardinals/ Total Volume

                                         = 140000 * 50000 / 80000

                                         = $ 87500

Cost of Product Blues = Total Cost * Volume of Blues/ Total Volume

                                    = 140000 * 30000 / 80000

                                   = $ 52500

Ans D) $ 87500 and $ 52500
