- Instant Foods produces two types of microwavable productsbeef-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 Instant dumps at negligible costs in a local drainage area. In June 2018, the following data were reported for the production and sales of beef-flavored and shrimp-flavored ramen:
| Joint costs | |
Joint Costs (costs of noodles, spices, and other inputs and processing to splitoff point) | $240,000 | |
| Beef Ramen | Shrimp Ramen |
Beginning inventory (tons) | 0 | 0 |
Production (tons) | 10,000 | 20,000 |
Sales (tons) | 10,000 | 20,000 |
Selling price per ton | $10 | $15 |
Due to the popularity of its microwavable products, Instant 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. The following is the monthly data for all the products:
