Problem is below. I've come to a conclusion that product J would bring in sales of $636,000 and product K would bring in sales of $1,350,000 which would make me think to sell J at split and continue to process K. What is correct answer?
Problem: India Corporation has $200,000 of joint processing costs and is studying whether to process J and K beyond the split-off point. Information about J and K follows.
Tons produced: J = 25,000; K = 15,000
Separable variable processing costs beyond split off: J = $64,000; K = $100,000
