TreatyTreat, Inc., purchases soybeans and processes them into the following three types of products: dog biscuits, cat food, and chicken feed. These products are the result of a joint process. In a typical month, there are total joint costs of $443,000. The dog biscuits and chicken feed are sold after being pressed into various shapes without further processing by TreatyTreat. (i.e. the fully-processed sales price is the same as the sales price at the point of split-off.) The cat food must be further mixed with vitamins. If the cat food spoils during the vitamin-adding process, the product can still be sold for fertilizer at $3.50 per unit. (Hint, this would be the sales value of the cat food at the split-off point.) The additional processing of cat food costs TreatyTreat $19,500 per month.



Product yield and average sales value on a per-unit basis from the joint processes are as follows:



Monthly Fully Processed

Product Output Sales Price

Dog Biscuits 29,000 $4

Cat Food 80,000 6

Chicken Feed 84,000 6
