The Great Foods Company processes milk into skim milk and butter. This year 70,000 litres of milk will be processed, costing $40,000. If processed to the split-off point, this will yield 40,000 litres of skim milk and 10,000 kilograms of butter. Skim milk is sold to distributors for $1 per litre and butter is sold for $0.75 per kilogram. Great Foods has the option of processing the two products further. Skim milk can be processed into canned, sweetened and condensed skim milk and sold for $0.80 per can. One litre of skim milk makes 2 cans of condensed milk. To process 40,000 litres of skim milk it will cost $18,000. Butter can be processed into cake frosting and sold in containers for $2 each. One kilogram of butter goes into each container of frosting. The cost of processing 10,000 kilograms of butter into frosting costs $15,000.
What is the per-unit joint cost allocated to condensed milk and frosting under the physical output method if the number of units of output after further processing is used to measure output?
A) $0.69524 per can and $1.7381 per container
B) $0.4444 per can and $0.4444 per container
