Exercise 39
Sell at Split-Off or Process Further
Bozo Inc. manufactures two products from a joint production process. The joint process costs $110,000 and yields 6,000 pounds of LTE compound and 14,000 pounds of HS compound. LTE can be sold at split-off for $55 per pound. HS can be sold at split-off for $9 per pound. A buyer of HS asked Bozo to process HS further into CS compound. If HS were processed further, it would cost $34,000 to turn 14,000 pounds of HS into 4,000 pounds of CS. The CS would sell for $45 per pound.
