Oregon Forests uses a joint process to manufacture two grades of wood: A and B. During October, the company incurred $16,200,000 of joint production cost in producing 27,000,000 board feet of Grade A and 9,000,000 board feet of Grade B lumber. The company allocates joint cost on the basis of board feet of lumber produced. The company can sell Grade A lumber at the split-off point for $0.70 per board foot and Grade B lumber at the split-off point for $0.50 per board foot. Alternatively, Grade A lumber can be further processed at a cost of $0.75 per board foot and then sold for $1.50 per board foot. No opportunity exists for processing Grade B lumber after split-off. a
