Weinberg Canning produces fillet, smoked salmon, and salmon remnants in a single process. The same amount of disposal cost is incurred whether a product is sold at split-off or after further processing. In October, the joint cost of the production process was $170,400.

Product	Pounds Produced	Separate Cost	Final Selling Price
Fillet	21,600	$3.00	$16.00
Smoked	24,000	5.20	13.00
Remnants	2,400	0.30	1.50
