Denny Corporation is considering replacing a technologically obsolete machine with a new state-of-the-art numerically controlled machine. The new machine would cost $210,000 and would have a ten-year useful life. Unfortunately, the new machine would have no salvage value. The new machine would cost $32,000 per year to operate and maintain, but would save $65,000 per year in labor and other costs. The old machine can be sold now for scrap for $21,000.

Product QI has been allocated $23,300 of the total joint costs of $44,000. A total of 3,000 units of product QI are produced from the joint process. Product QI can be sold at the split-off point for $11 per unit, or it can be processed further for an additional total cost of $11,000 and then sold for $13 per unit.
