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:

Product	Selling Price			Quarterly Output
A	$	27.00	per pound		14,400	pounds
B	$	21.00	per pound		22,400	pounds
C	$	33.00	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:

Product	Additional Processing Costs		Selling Price
A	$	89,220	$	32.80	per pound
B	$	129,170	$	27.80	per pound
