If the selling prices of finished products Y and Z remain constant, the percentage of the total joint costs allocated to product Y and product Z would
a. Decrease for product Y and increase for product Z
b. Decrease for product Y and product Z
c. Increase for product Y and product Z
d. Increase for product Y and decrease for product Z
