Goodman and Sons manufactures a number of joint products. The process begins in department 1 with 100,000 pounds, of which 30% goes to department 2, 60% goes to department 3, and the remainder is waste. From department 2, five-sixths goes to department 4 and one-sixth goes to department 5. There is no market for intermediate products; only the end products of department 3 (a by-product), department 4 (a main product), and department 5 (a main product) are sold. Goodman uses the net realizable value method to allocate joint costs, and the by-product value is recognized at the time of sale. Cost and sales data are as follows:
