Exercise 21-12

A company manufactures three products using the same production process. The costs incurred up to the split-off point are $203,500. These costs are allocated to the products on the basis of their sales value at the split-off point. The number of units produced, the selling prices per unit of the three products at the split-off point and after further processing, and the additional processing costs are as follows.


(b1)

Determine the incremental profit (loss) of each product(s). (Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).)


(b2)

Which product(s) should be processed further and which should be sold at the split-off point?
