Arvin, Inc., produces two products, ins and outs, in a single process. The joint costs of this process were $$50,000,$ and $15,000$ units of ins and $36,000$ units of outs were produced. Separable processing costs beyond the split$-$off point were as follows: ins, $$110,000$; outs, $$450,000.$ Ins sell for $$8\mathrm{.}00$ per unit; outs sell for $$15\mathrm{.}00$ per unit.

Required:

$1.$ Allocate the $$50,000$ joint costs using the estimated net realizable value method.

$2.$ Suppose that ins could be sold at the split$-$off point for $$7\mathrm{.}00$ per unit. Should Arvin sell ins at split$-$off or process them further?
