Joint-cost allocation. SW Flour Company buys 1 input of standard flour and refines it using a special sifting process to 3 cups of baking flour and 9 cups of bread flour. In May 2017, SW bought 12,000 inputs of flour for $89,000. SW spent another $47,800 on the special sifting process. The baking flour can be sold for $3.60 per cup and the bread flour for $4.80 per cup. SW puts the baking flour through a second process so it is super fine. This costs an additional $1.00 per cup of baking flour and the process yields ½ cup of super-fine baking flour for every one cup of baking flour used. The super-fine baking flour sells for $9.60 per cup. SW Flour Company has decided that their bread flour may sell better if it was marketed for gourmet baking and sold with infused spices. This would involve additional cost for the spices of $0.80 per cup. Each cup could be sold for $5.50. Q.If SW uses the physical-measure method, what combination of products should SW sell to maximize profits?
