Assume a company has three productsA, B, and Cthat emerge from a joint process. The joint processing costs that are incurred up to the split-off point equal $1,270,000. The selling prices and outputs for each product at the split-off point are as follows:

Product	Selling Price		Output
A	$ 33	per pound	14,000	pounds
B	$ 29	per pound	18,000	pounds
C	$ 24	per pound	19,000	pounds

Each product can be processed further beyond the split-off point. The additional processing costs for each product and their respective selling prices after further processing are as follows:

Product	Additional Processing Costs	Selling Price
A	$ 65,000	$ 37	per pound
B	$ 72,000	$ 34	per pound
C	$ 88,000	$ 30	per pound
