**Biondi Industries: Chemical Manufacturing and Inventory Management**

Biondi Industries specializes in manufacturing chemicals for diverse applications. Among several processes, three primary chemicals produced are:

- **HTP–3**: Used in hot tubs and swimming pools.
- **PST–4**: Utilized in pesticides.
- **RJ–5**: Supplied to fertilizer manufacturers.

Biondi employs the net-realizable-value method to allocate joint production costs, maintaining a consistent ratio of output to input materials each month. The company operates on a **FIFO (first-in, first-out)** basis for valuing finished goods inventories.

### October Operations Overview:

- **Joint Production Costs**: $2,550,000

#### Inventory and Sales Data for October:
|                          | **HTP–3** | **PST–4** | **RJ–5** |
|--------------------------|-----------|-----------|----------|
| Finished goods inventory (gallons) - Oct 1 | 26,500    | 63,900    | 4,700    |
| October sales (gallons)  | 820,000   | 410,000   | 235,000  |
| October production (gallons) | 1,040,000 | 520,000   | 255,000  |
| Additional processing costs | $1,044,000 | $991,000   | $82,000   |
| Final sales value per gallon | $5.70     | $7.70     | $6.70    |

### Problem 17-29 Part 2:
Calculate the finished-goods inventory value for each chemical as of October 31, based on the provided data. **Round all intermediate cost-per-gallon calculations to the nearest cent.**

#### Value of Inventory:
|          | **Value of Inventory** |
|----------|------------------------|
| **HTP–3** |                        |
| **PST–4** |                        |
| **RJ–5**  |                        |

**Note**: The value of inventory calculation requires applying the FIFO method to determine the current inventory cost based on remaining stocks and production costs.
