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:

$\backslash$table$[[$Product$,$Selling Price,$\backslash$table$[[$Quarterly$],[$Output$]]],[$A$,$$$13\mathrm{.}00$ per pound,$11,600$ pounds$],[$B$,$$$7\mathrm{.}00$ per pound,$18,200$ pounds$],[$C$,$$$19\mathrm{.}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:

$\backslash$table$[[$Product$,\backslash$table$[[$Additional$],[$Processing Costs$]],\backslash$table$[[$Selling$],[$Price$]]],[$A$,$$$54,640,$$$17\mathrm{.}40$ per pound$],[$B$,$$$77,580,$$$12\mathrm{.}40$ per pound$],[$c$,$$$29,360,$$$26\mathrm{.}40$ per gallon$]]$
