Delivery costs include both crating and hauling costs. The Reddings are
able to identify the portion of the cost directly related to the No. 3
tomatoes, presumably because the No. 3s are going to a different
destination than the No. 1 and No. 2 tomatoes. If the No. 1s and No. 2s are
going to the same place, then the hauling portion of the delivery cost may
truly be a joint cost, at least for the No. 1 and No. 2 tomatoes.
However, since the No. 1 and No. 2 tomatoes are different grades and are
sold for different prices per pound, it seems safe to assume they are crated
separately. If the cost of crating the No. 3 tomatoes can be traced as a
direct cost, then it seems the crating costs for the No. 1s and No. 2s should
