Chapter 19, Problem 6BE

Man O’Fort Inc. produces two different styles of door handles, standard and curved. The door handles go through a joint production molding process costing $29,000 per batch and producing 2,000 standard door handles and 1,000 curved door handles at the split-off point. Both door handles undergo additional production processes after the split-off point, but could be sold at that point: the standard style for $4 per door handle and the curved style for $2 per door handle. Determine the amount of joint production costs allocated to each style of door handle using the market value at split-off method.
