Net Realizable Value Method: Brazos Corporation operates an ore processing plant. A typical batch of ore run through the plant will yield three refined products: lead, copper, and manganese. At the split-off point, the intermediate products cannot be sold without further process- ing. The lead from a typical batch will sell for $20,000 after incurring additional processing costs of $8,000. The copper is sold for $40,000 after additional processing costs of $1,000. The manganese yield sells for $30,000 but requires additional pro- cessing costs of $6,000. The costs of processing the raw ore, including the ore costs. amount to $55,000 per batch.

Required: Use the net realizable value method to allocate the joint processing costs.
