Two products, QI and VH$,$ emerge from a joint process. Product QI has been allocated $$9,600$ of the total joint costs of $$12,000.$ A total of $9\mathrm{.}000$ units of product Q$|$ are produced from the joint process. Product QI can be sold at the split$-$off point for $$13$ per unit. or it can be processed further for an additional total cost of $$54,000$ and then sold for $$18$ per unit.
