Question - 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 $14 per pound. A buyer of HS asked Bozo to process HS further into CS compound. If HS were processed further, it would cost $35,700 to turn 14,000 pounds of HS into 4,000 pounds of CS. The CS would sell for $59 per pound.

Required -

1. What is the contribution to income from selling the 14,000 pounds of HS at split-off?

2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION: What is the contribution to income from processing the 14,000 pounds of HS into 4,000 pounds of CS? Should Bozo continue to sell the HS at split-off or process it further into CS?
