During a recent period, joint costs amounted to $450,000 in the
production of 20,000 gallons of W and 50,000 gallons of X. Both

W | X | |
Separable processing costs | $40,000 | $160,000 |
Sales price (per gallon) if processed beyond split-of | $15 | $13 |
The joint cost allocated to X under the net-realizable-value method would be: (Do not round your intermediate calculations.)
$294,000.
$310,000.
$232,105.
$274,000.
None of these.
