Requirement 1. How much of the joint costs per batch will be allocated to turpentine and to methanol, assuming that joint costs are allocated based on the number of gallons at splitoff point?
| Methanol | Turpentine | Total | |
| Physical measure of total production | 2,875 | 8,625 | 11,500 |
| Weighting | 0.25000 | 0.75000 | 1.00000 |
| Joint costs allocated | $30,250 | $90,750 | $121,000 |
