In a joint processing operation, Nolen Company manufactures three grades of sugar from a common input, sugar cane. Joint processing costs up to the split-off point total $41,800 per year.

These sales values are as follows: raw sugar, $21,000; brown sugar, $21,000; and white sugar, $23,100.

Each product may be sold at the split-off point or processed further. Additional processing requires no special facilities. The additional processing costs and the sales value after further processing for each product (on an annual basis) are shown below:
