Saint John Mining operates several facilities. At one, a typical batch of an ore, Pryex, run through the processing plant yields three products: PX-10, PX-20, and PX-30. At the split-off point, the intermediate products cannot be sold without further processing. A typical batch of PX-10 sells for $110,000 after incurring additional processing costs of $20,000. PX-20 can be sold for $170,000 after additional processing costs of $44,000, and the PX-30 sells for $220,000 but requires additional processing costs of $76,000. The joint costs of processing the Pryex, including the cost of mining, are $240,000 per batch.
Required:
Use the estimated net realizable value method to allocate the joint processing costs and fill out the following table.

Blasto, Inc., operates several mines. At one, a typical batch of ore run through the plant yields three products: lead, copper, and
manganese. At the split-off point, the intermediate products cannot be sold without further processing. The lead from a typical batch
sells for $63,000 after incurring additional processing costs of $25,200. The copper is sold for $101,000 after additional processing
costs of $11,000, and the manganese yield sells for $68,000 but requires additional processing costs of $15,800. The joint costs of
processing the raw ore, including the cost of mining, are $185,000 per batch.

- Sell at Split-Off or Process Further Bozo Inc. manufactures two products from a joint production process. The joint process costs $110,000 and yields 6,000 pounds of LTE compound and 14,000 pounds of HS compound. LTE can be sold at split-off for $55 per pound. HS can be sold at split-off for $9 per pound. A buyer of HS asked Bozo to process HS further into CS compound. If HS were processed further, it would cost $34,000 to turn 14,000 pounds of HS into 4,000 pounds of CS. The CS would sell for $45 per pound. Required: 1.
