Dorsey Company manufactures three products from a common input in a joint processing operation. Joint processing costs up to the split-off point total $390,000 per quarter. For financial reporting purposes, the company allocates these costs to the joint products on the basis of their relative sales value at the split-off point. Unit selling prices and total output at the split-off point are as follows: Product Selling Price Quarterly Output A $ 28.00 per pound 14,600 pounds B $ 22.00 per pound 22,700 pounds C $ 34.00 per gallon 5,800 gallons Each product can be processed further after the split-off point. Additional processing requires no special facilities. The additional processing costs (per quarter) and unit selling prices after further processing are given below: Product Additional Processing Costs Selling Price A $ 91,990 $ 33.90 per pound B $ 133,305 $ 28.90 per pound C $ 62,660 $ 42.90 per gallon Required: 1.

Answer:

                                                                  Product A   Product B  Product C

Sales value after further processing       $494,940   $656,030   $248,820

(14,600*$33.90), (22,700*$28.90),

(5,800*$42.90)

Costs of further processing                      $91,990     $133,305    $62,660

Benefits of further processing                 $402,950   $522,725   $186,160

Less: Sales value at split-off point           $408,800   $499,400   $197,200

(14,600*$28.00), (22,700*$22.00),

(5,800*$34.00)

Net advantage / (Disadvantage)            $(5,850)     $23,325      $(11,040)
