Clarion Company, a new firm, manufactures two products, J and K, in a common process. The joint costs amount to $80,000 per batch of finished goods. Each batch results in 20,000 liters of output, of which 80% are J and 20% are K.The two products are processed beyond the split-off point, with Clarion incurring the following separable costs: J, $2 per liter; K, $5 per liter. After the additional processing, the selling price of J is $12 per liter, and the selling price of K is $15 per liter.Required:A. Determine the proper allocation of joint costs if the company uses the net-realizable-value method.B. Assume that Clarion sold all of its production of K during the current accounting period. Compute K's sales revenue, cost of goods sold, and gross margin.C. Is the firm's cost-of-goods-sold

figure influenced by the choice of a joint-cost allocation method? Briefly explain.
