41. Garrison Co. produces three products — X, Y, and Z — from a joint process. Each product
may be sold at the split-off point or processed further. Additional processing requires no special
facilities, and production costs of further processing are entirely variable and traceable to the
products involved. Last year all three products were processed beyond split-off. Joint production
costs for the year were $120,000. Sales values and costs needed to evaluate Garrison’s
production policy follow.

Y 3,000 15,000 40,000 3,000
