The Atlanta Company processes unprocessed goat milk up to the split-off point where two products, condensed goat milk and skim goat milk result. Total cost of purchasing and processing 120,000 gallons of goat milk in Joint Process was $144,000 which resulted into 35,640 gallons of goat milk and 72,360 gallons of skim goat milk (the remaining materials was shrinkage). Additional shrinkage occurred during additional processing as follows: Condensed 35,640 gallons of goat milk is processed further at $3.60 per gallon to yield 33,600 gallons of a medicinal milk product, called Xyla (the remainder is shrinkage). Xyla can be sold for $21.60 per gallon. The 72,360 gallons of Skim goat milk can be processed further at $2.40 per gallon to yield 64,800 gallons of skim goat ice cream.

$144,000 which resulted into 35,640 gallons of goat milk and 72,360 gallons of skim
goat milk (the remaining materials was shrinkage).
Additional shrinkage occurred during additional processing as follows:
Condensed 35,640 gallons of goat milk is processed further at $3.60 per gallon to
yield 33,600 gallons of a medicinal milk product, called Xyla (the remainder is
shrinkage). Xyla can be sold for $21.60 per gallon.
The 72,360 gallons of Skim goat milk can be processed further at $2.40 per gallon to
