Garrison Co. produces three products X, Y, and Z from a joint process. Each product may be sold at the split-off point or processed further. Additional processing requires no special facilities, and production costs of further processing are entirely variable and traceable to the products involved. Last year all three products were processed beyond split-off. Joint production costs for the year were $136,000. Sales values and costs needed to evaluate Garrison's production policy follow.

	Units		Sales Value at			If Processed Further
Product	Produced		Split Off			Sales Value			Additional Costs
x	15,000		$	44,000		$	100,000		$	5,200
y	5,000			27,000			52,000			11,000
z	5,000			32,000			46,000			13,500

The amount of joint costs allocated to product Z using the net realizable value method is (calculate all ratios and percentages to 4 decimal places, for example 33.3333%, and round all dollar amounts to the nearest whole dollar):
