Dorsey Company manufactures three products from a common input in a joint processing operation. Joint processing costs up to the split$-$off point total $$385,000$ 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,Quarterly Output$],[$A$,$$$27\mathrm{.}00$ per pound,$14,400$ pounds$],[$B$,$$$21\mathrm{.}00$ per pound,$22,400$ pounds$],[$C$,$$$33\mathrm{.}00$ per gallon,$5,600$ 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$[[,\backslash$table$[[$Additional$],[$Processing$],[$Costs$]],],[$Product$,\backslash$table$[[$Selling Price$]],],[$A$,$$$89,220,$$$32\mathrm{.}80$ per pound$],[$B$,$$$129,170,$$$27\mathrm{.}80$ per pound$],[$C$,$$$60,160,$$$41\mathrm{.}80$ per gallon$]]$
