Joint process costs $472,000 (includes timber logs) Quantities produced 107,000 board feet of hardwood lumber 22,000 board feet of low-grade lumber Sales prices at split-off $6.90 per board foot for hardwood lumber $2.60 per board foot for low-grade lumber "Paul, the sawmill owner, is meeting with other top managers as they consider avenues for increased profitability.
