Question - 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 $46,000 after incurring additional processing costs of $10,350. The copper is sold for $92,000 after additional processing costs of $14.500, and the manganese yield sells for $63,000 but requires additional processing costs of $21,150. The joint costs of processing the raw ore, including the cost of mining, are $130,000 per batch. Use the estimated net realizable value method to allocate the joint processing costs.
