Peachland Fruit Ltd. harvests blueberries. After harvest, the company sells some berries fresh, freezes others, and processes some into juice. During the summer the joint costs of processing the berry products were $620,000. Any separable costs for each product are negligible and are not traced. There were no beginning or ending inventories for the summer. Production and sales value information for the summer were as follows:
