Dorsey Company manufactures three products from a common input in a joint processing operation. Joint processing costs up to the split-off point total $315,000 per quarter. For financial reporting purposes, the company allocates these costs to the joint products on the basis of their relative sales value at the split-off point. Unit selling prices and total output at the split-off point are as follows:

Product	Selling Price		Quarterly Output
A	$ 13.00	per pound	11,600	pounds
B	$ 7.00	per pound	18,200	pounds
C	$ 19.00	per gallon	2,800	gallons

Each product can be processed further after the split-off point. Additional processing requires no special facilities. The additional processing costs (per quarter) and unit selling prices after further processing are given below:

Product	Additional Processing Costs	Selling Price
A	$ 54,640	$ 17.40	per pound
B	$ 77,580	$ 12.40	per pound
C	$ 29,360	$ 26.40	per gallon
