---|---|---|---|
from Each | |||
Product | Pound of Fish | ||
Fish | 8 | ounces | |
Fish oil | 4 | ounces | |
Fish meal | 2 | ounces | |

Of each pound of fish processed, two ounces are waste (assume
12.5% for calculations). In July, FINS processed 37.5 tons of fish
(1 ton equals 2,000 pounds). Joint cost amounted to $142,800. On
average, each pound of product has the following selling prices:
fish, $4.50; fish oil, $6.50; and fish meal, $2.
