49. Fitzpatrick Corporation uses a joint manufacturing process in the production of two products,
Gummo and Xylo. Each batch in the joint manufacturing process yields 5,000 pounds of an
intermediate material, Valdene, at a cost of P20,000. Each batch of Gummo uses 60% of the
Valdene and incurs P10,000 of separate costs. The resulting 3,000 pounds of Gummo sells for P10
per pound. The remaining Valdene is used in the production of Xylo which incurs P12,000 of
separable costs per batch. Each batch of Xylo yields 2,000 pounds and sells for P12 per pound.

is debating whether or not to process Xylo further into a new product, Zinten, which would incur
an additional P4,000 in costs and sell for P15 per pound. If Zinten is produced, income would
