Eco Foods produces two types of microwavable products: beef-flavored ramen and shrimp-flavored ramen. The two products share common inputs such as noodle and spices. The production of ramen results in a waste product referred to as stock, which Eco dumps at negligible costs in a local drainage area. In June 2020, the following data were reported for the production and sales of beef-flavored and shrimp-flavored ramen:

Due to the popularity of its microwavable products, Eco decides to add a new line of products that targets dieters. These new products are produced by adding a special ingredient to dilute the original ramen and are to be sold under the names Special B and Special S, respectively. Following are the monthly data for all the products:

Requirements:

1.	Calculate Eco's gross-margin percentage for Special B and Special S when joint costs are allocated using the following:
	a.	Sales value at splitoff method
	b.	Physical-measure method
	c.	Net realizable value method
2.	Recently, Eco discovered that the stock it is dumping can be sold to cattle ranchers at $6 per ton. In a typical month with the production level shown, 2,500 tons of stock are produced and can be sold by incurring marketing costs of $13,300. Samantha Decroce, a management accountant, points out that treating the stock as a joint product and using the sales value at splitoff method, the stock product would lose about $5,142 each month, so it should not be sold. How did Decroce arrive at that final number, and what do you think of her analysis? Should Eco sell the stock?
