Two products, QI and VH, emerge from a joint process. Product QI has been allocated $12,300 of the total joint costs of $33,000. A total of 1,900 units of product QI are produced from the joint process. Product QI can be sold at the split-off point for $13 per unit, or it can be processed further for an additional total cost of $11,000 and then sold for $15 per unit. If product QI is processed further and sold, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company compared with sale in its unprocessed form directly after the split-off point?

The initial cost of the equipment is closest to: Jark Corporation has invested in a machine that cost $76,000, that has a useful life of eight years, and that has no salvage value at the end of its useful life. The machine is being depreciated by the straight-line method, based on its useful life. It will have a payback period of five years. Given these data, the simple rate of return on the machine is closest to (Ignore income taxes.): (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
