Dorsey Company manufactures three products from a common input in a joint processing operation. Joint processing costs up to the split-off point total $365,000 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	$	23.00	per pound		13,600	pounds
B	$	17.00	per pound		21,200	pounds
C	$	29.00	per gallon		4,800	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	$	78,540	$	28.40	per pound
B	$	113,230	$	23.40	per pound
C	$	50,560	$	37.40	per gallon
