Raynor Manufacturing purchases trees from Tree Nursery and processes them up to the split off point, where two products (paper and pencil casings) are obtained. The products are then sold to an independent company that markets and distributes them to retail outlets. The following information was collected for the month of October. Trees processed: 50 trees (yield is 30,000 sheets of paper and 30,000 pencil casings and no scrap)

paper 30,000 sheets
pencil casings 30,000
Sales:
paper 29,000 at $0.04 per page
pencil casings 30,000 at $0.10 per casing
