Marshall accounts for the costs of its products using the net realizable value method. The two joint products are processed beyond the split-off point, incurring separable processing costs. There is a $2,300 disposal cost for the by-product. A summary of a recent month’s activity at Marshall is shown below:   Ying Yang Bit Units sold 115,000 92,000 23,000 Units produced 115,000 92,000 23,000 Separable processing costs—variable $ 322,000 $ 98,000 $ — Separable processing costs—fixed $ 23,000 $ 17,000 $ — Sales price $ 6.00 $ 12.50 $ 1.50 Total joint costs for Marshall in the recent month are $302,200, of which $129,946 is a variable cost. Required: Calculate the manufacturing cost per unit for each of the three products. Note: Round manufacturing cost per unit answers to 2 decimal places. Calculate the total gross margin for each product.
