The estimated data below relates to the month of June. Selling price at split off point (per litre) Selling price after further processing (per litre) Post-separation point costs Output in litres Product B 6 10 20,000 3,500 Product K 8 20 10,000 2,500 Product C 9 30 22,500 2,000 Pre-separation point joint costs are estimated to be 40,000 and it is current practice to apportion these to the three products according to litres produced. Required: (a) (i) Prepare a statement of estimated profit or loss for each product and in total for June if all three products are processed further.
