Sonimad Sawmill manufactures two lumber products from a joint milling process. The two products
developed are mine support braces (MSS) and unseasoned commercial building lumber (CBL). A
standard production run incurs joint costs of P300,000 and results in 60,000 units of MSB and
90,000 units of CBL. Each MSB sells for P2 per unit, each CBL sells for P4 per unit. Assume the
commercial building lumber is not marketable at split-off point but must be further planed and sized
at a cost of P200,000 per production run. During this process, 10,000 units are unavoidably lost;
these spoiled units have no discernable value. The remaining units of commercial building lumber
are salable a P10.00 per unit. The mine support braces, although salable immediately at the split-off
point, are coated with a tar-like preservative that costs P100,000 per production run. The braces are
then sold for P5 each. If Sonimad Sawmill chose not to process the mine support braces beyond the
split-off point, the contribution from the joint milling process would be:
a. P50,000 higher.
b. P180,000 lower.
c. P100,000 higher.
d. P80,000 lower.

59. The Someday Corporation produces a variety of cleaning compounds and solutions for both industrial
and household use. While most of its products are processed independently, a few are related.
"Smart" is a coarse cleaning powder with many industrial uses. It costs P16 a pound to make and has a
selling price of P20 a pound.
