Answer the following question(s) using the information below:
The Morton Company processes unprocessed goat milk up to the splitoff point where two products, condensed goat milk and skim goat milk result. The following information was collected for the month of October:
Direct Materials processed: 65,000 litres (shrinkage was 10%)
The costs of purchasing the 65,000 litres of unprocessed goat milk and processing it up to the splitoff point to yield a total of 58,500 litres of salable product was $72,240. There were no inventory balances of either product.
Condensed goat milk may be processed further to yield 19,500 litres (the remainder is shrinkage) of a medicinal milk product, Xyla, for an additional processing cost of $3 per usable litre. Xyla can be sold for $18 per litre.
Skim goat milk can be processed further to yield 28,100 litres of skim goat ice cream, for an additional processing cost per usable litre of $2.50. The product can be sold for $9 per litre.
There are no beginning and ending inventory balances.
